Arthashastra
तथा अप्य् अभिप्रयान्तं कोश दण्डयोः पाद उत्तरम् अहो रात्र उत्तरं वा संधिं याचेत ॥
If the enemy still continues the march, the weak king may sue for peace by offering more than one-fourth of his wealth and army, the payment being made after the lapse of a day and night.
english translation
tathA apy abhiprayAntaM koza daNDayoH pAda uttaram aho rAtra uttaraM vA saMdhiM yAceta ॥
