Wieder mal zu faul, ins Wörterbuch zu schauen und herauszufinden, was "violence" heißt. Keine Unterstützung hier notwendig.

You may be right (that incidentally was the point of my question mark which seems to have escaped your attention),---but without more context I don't think one can be 100% sure.

Here is more context:

But however any religion starts out, sooner or later it enters into a Faustian pact with state power. Buddhist monks looked to kings, the ultimate wielders of violence, for the support, patronage and order that only they could provide. Kings looked to monks to provide the popular legitimacy that only such a high moral vision can confer.

=> "die Gewaltausübenden" ?

And yet "violence" here seems to me to (also) go in the direction of "systemic violence," and that is getting closer to the "Gewalt" of "Gewaltinhaber."
