यस्मिन् वा गुणे स्थितः स्व कर्मणाम् उपघातं पश्येन् न इतरस्य तस्मिन् न तिष्ठेत् ॥

Whoever thinks that in the course of time his loss will be less than his acquisition as contrasted with that of his enemy, may neglect his temporary deterioration. If any two kings hostile to each other and deteriorating, expect to acquire equal amount of wealth in equal time, they shall make peace with each other.

english translation

yasmin vA guNe sthitaH sva karmaNAm upaghAtaM pazyen na itarasya tasmin na tiSThet ॥
