समेन वा याचितः कारणम् अवेक्ष्य दद्यात् "प्रत्यादेया मे भूमिर् वश्या वा, अनया प्रतिबद्धः परो मे वश्यो भविष्यति भूमि विक्रयाद् वा मित्र हिरण्य लाभः कार्य सामर्थ्य करो मे भविष्यति" इति ॥

When a king of equal power demands land from another as above, then the latter may sell it after considering "whether the land can be recovered by me, or can be kept under my control.whether my enemy can be brought under my power in consequence of his taking possession of the land; and whether I can acquire by the sale of the land friends and wealth, enough to help me in my undertakings."
