महा क्षय व्यय निवेशां तु भूमिम् अवाप्तु कामः पूर्वम् एव क्रेतारं पणेत दुर्बलम् अराज बीजिनं निरुत्साहम् अपक्षम् अन्याय वृत्तिं व्यसनिनं दैव प्रमाणं यत् किंचन कारिणं वा ॥
The king who is desirous of getting back the land sold for colonization to another when the latter has lost his men and money in colonizing it, should first make an agreement with such a purchaser as is weak, base-born, devoid of energy, helpless, of unrighteous character, addicted to evil ways, trusting to fate, and indiscreet in his actions.
