दण्ड उपनत आटविकयोर् अन्यतरो वा सम्रुद्धस्य प्रेषयेत् "अयं सम्रोद्धा व्याधितः, पार्ष्णि ग्राहेण अभियुक्तः, छिद्रम् अन्यद् उत्थितम्, अन्यस्यां भूमाव् अपयातु कामः" इति ॥

Either a conquered enemy or the chief of a wild tribe (in conspiracy with the conqueror) may inform the besieged: "With the intention of escaping from a disease, or from the attack in his weak point by his enemy in the rear, or from a rebellion in his army, the conqueror seems to be thinking of going elsewhere, abandoning the siege."
