ekaṃ viṣarasaṃ hanti

Subhashita

ekaṃ viṣarasaṃ hanti śastreṇaikaśca vadhyate |

sarāṣṭraṃ saprajaṃ hanti rājānaṃ mantraviplavaḥ ||

 

Only one person dies due to the poison; By the weapons too only one living creature can die. But due to the incorrect decisions by the king, the king himself, the whole nation and it’s citizens can die!!
