अरेर् नेतुश् च मध्यस्थो दुर्बलो अन्तर्धिर् उच्यते । प्रतिघातो बलवतो दुर्ग अटव्य् अपसारवान् ॥

He who is situated between a conqueror and his enemy is called an antardhi (one between two kings); when such a king is possessed of forts, wild tribes, and other kinds of help, he proves an impediment in the way of the strong.
