पार्वतं तु स्व् आरक्षं दुरुपरोधि कृच्छ्र आरोहणम्, भग्ने च एकस्मिन् न सर्व वधः, शिला वृक्ष प्रमोक्षश् च महा अपकारिणाम् ॥

whereas a fort on a mountain is of a self-defensive nature, and not easy to besiege or to ascend; and when one portion of the army defending it is routed out, the other portions can escape unhurt and such a fort is of immense service, as it affords facilities to throw down heaps of stone and trees over the enemy.
