Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 62
यतो धर्मश्चैषः । दूतो म्लेच्छोऽप्यवध्यः स्याद्राजा दूतमुखो यतः ।
उद्यतेष्वपि शस्त्रेषु दूतो वदति नान्यथा ॥
And justice requires this - A messenger, even though he be a Mlechchha (an out-caste) is exempt from being put to death; for a king has a messenger for his mouth (i.e., it is the king who speaks through his messenger). A messenger does not speak otherwise (than directed) although weapons be raised against him.
