मित्र आसार मुख्य व्यञ्जनो वा सम्रुद्धेन मैत्रीं कृत्वा दूतम् अभित्यक्तं प्रेषयेत् "इदं ते छिद्रम्, इमे दूष्याः" "सम्रोद्धुर् वा छिद्रम्, अयं ते कृत्य पक्षः" इति ॥
A king pretending to be the enemy's chief friend or ally, may make the friendship closer with the besieged, and send a messenger to say: "This is thy weak point; these are thy internal enemies; that is the weak point of the besieger; and this person (who, deserting the conqueror, is now coming to thee) is thy partisan."
