If a powerful king approaches kingdoms weakened by anarchy, with a view to annex them to his dominions, the people should go forward and receive the invader with honour. Such conduct would be quite of a piece with wise counsels. There is no evil greater than anarchy.
अथ चेदाभिवर्तेत राज्यार्थी बलवत्तरः। अराजकाणि राष्ट्राणि हतवीर्याणि वा पुनः॥ प्रत्युद्गम्याभिपूज्यः स्यादेतदत्र सुमन्त्रितम्। न हि पापात् परतरमस्ति किञ्चिदराजकात्॥
