Arthashastra
अरि सम्पद् युक्तः सामन्तः शत्रुः, व्यसनी यातव्यः, अनपाश्रयो दुर्बल आश्रयो वा उच्छेदनीयः, विपर्यये पीडनीयः कर्शनीयो वा ॥
A neighbouring foe of considerable power is styled an enemy; and when he is involved in calamities or has taken himself to evil ways, he becomes assailable; and when he has little or no help, he becomes destructible; otherwise (i.e., when he is provided with some help), he deserves to be harassed or reduced.
english translation
