दुष्टपौरजानपदो वा न्यायवृत्तिरन्यां भूमिं याचेत ॥ कZ_०७.१५.२४ ॥
duṣṭa-paurajānapado vā nyāya-vṛttir anyāṃ bhūmiṃ yāceta
जर नगर व जनपद (शहरी-ग्रामीण जनता) दुष्ट/विरोधी असतील, तर न्यायवृत्ती असलेल्याने राहण्यासाठी/शासनासाठी दुसरी भूमी मागावी।
Because governance depends on a workable social base; when the populace is irredeemably hostile, maintaining justice may require relocation rather than escalating repression that destroys legitimacy.
State stability rests on consent/cooperation of the people; when that base collapses, administrative continuity may be preserved by negotiated reassignment.
