यदि वा मन्येत "संधिना एकतः स्व कर्माणि प्रवर्तयिष्यामि, विग्रहेण एकतः पर कर्माण्य् उपहनिष्यामि" इति द्वैधी भावेन वृद्धिम् आतिष्ठेत् ॥

Or if a king thinks:-- "That by making peace with one, I can work out my own resources, and by waging war with another, I can destroy the works of my enemy," then he may adopt that double policy and improve his resources.
