Arthashastra
भूमि संधिं याचेत, प्रत्यादेयां नित्य अमित्राम् अनपाश्रयां महा क्षय व्यय निवेशां वा अस्मै भूमिं दद्यात् ॥
if the enemy desires to make peace on condition of his ceding a part of his land, he should provide the enemy with that kind of land which he can recover, which is always at the mercy of another enemy, which possesses no protective defences
english translation
bhUmi saMdhiM yAceta, pratyAdeyAM nitya amitrAm anapAzrayAM mahA kSaya vyaya nivezAM vA asmai bhUmiM dadyAt ॥
