तुल्ये क्षय व्यये यः पुरस्ताद् दूष्य बलं घातयित्वा निह्शल्यः पश्चाद् वश्य बलो युध्येत सो अतिसंधत्ते ॥

Loss of men and money being equal, he who entirely destroys first his frontal enemy, and next attacks his rear-enemy gains more advantages.

english translation

tulye kSaya vyaye yaH purastAd dUSya balaM ghAtayitvA nihzalyaH pazcAd vazya balo yudhyeta so atisaMdhatte ॥
