महा क्षय व्यय निवेशायां हि भूमौ दुर्बलो राज बीजी निविष्टः सगन्धाभिः प्रकृतिभिः सह क्षय व्ययेन अवसीदति ॥

When the colonization of a land entails much expenditure of men and money, and when a weak and base-born man attempts to colonize it, he will perish along with his people in consequence of his loss of men and money.
