Arthashastra
बहुली भूते शासनम् अभित्यक्तेन प्रेषयेत् "एतत् ते पण्यं पण्य अगारं वा मया ते प्रेषितम्, सामवायिकेषु विक्रमस्व, अपगच्छ वा, ततः पण शेषम् अवाप्स्यसि" इति ॥
When commodities are thus gathered in abundance (the owner of the articles) may send a message to the enemy: "These commodities and merchandise are sent by me to you; please declare war against the combined kings or desert them; you will then get the rest of the tribute."
