Resorting to the expedients of conciliation, disunion, chastisement, bribery, presents and fair conduct attack your-enemies and vanquish the weak by strength and reconcile the allies and soldiers by sweet speeches. When you shall be able to reinforce your army and replenish your treasury success shall be yours.
साम्ना दानेन भेदेन दण्डेन बलिकर्मणा। न्यायेनाक्रम्य च परान् बलाच्चानभ्य दुर्बलान्॥ सान्त्वयित्वा तु मित्राणि बलं चाभाष्यतां सुखम्। सुकोषबलसंवृद्धः सम्यक् सिद्धिमवाप्स्यसि॥
