रामायण - किष्किन्धा - राजा

राजभिर्धृतदण्डास्तु कृत्वा पापानि मानवाः |
निर्मलाः स्वर्गमायान्ति सन्तः सुकृतिनो यथा ||

- रामायण, किष्किन्धा

If a sinner gets the right punishment (from a king) then he becomes pure again. He shall go to heaven just like people who have always done only good work.

- Ramayana, Kishkindha
