THE conqueror should know the comparative strength and weakness of himself and of his enemy; and having ascertained the power, place, time, the time of marching and of recruiting the army, the consequences, the loss of men and money, and profits and danger, he should march with his full force; otherwise, he should keep quiet.

"उत्साह प्रभावयोर् उत्साहः श्रेयान् ॥
My teacher says that of enthusiasm and power, enthusiasm is better

स्वयं हि राजा शूरो बलवान् अरोगः कृत अस्त्रो दण्ड द्वितीयो अपि शक्तः प्रभाववन्तं राजानं जेतुम् ॥
a king, himself energetic, brave, strong, free from disease, skilful in wielding weapons, is able with his army as a secondary power to subdue a powerful king.

अल्पो अपि च अस्य दण्डस् तेजसा कृत्य करो भवति ॥
his army, though small, will, when led by him, be, capable of turning out any work.

निरुत्साहस् तु प्रभाववान् राजा विक्रम अभिपन्नो नश्यति" इत्य् आचार्याः ॥
But a king who has no enthusiasm in himself, will perish though possessed of a strong army.
