तीक्ष्ण बलं वा अस्मै दद्याद् यद् अवमानितं विकुर्वीत, मौलम् अनुरक्तं वा यद् अस्य व्यसने अपकुर्यात् ॥

Alternatively , one may give the opponent an army composed of fierce spies, those who, feeling disrespected, would turn hostile, or those traditional and loyal troops who would abandon him in times of trouble.

english translation

tIkSNa balaM vA asmai dadyAd yad avamAnitaM vikurvIta, maulam anuraktaM vA yad asya vyasane apakuryAt ॥
