सामवायिकैर् एवम् अभियुक्तो विजिगीषुर् यस् तेषां प्रधानस् तं ब्रूयात् "त्वया मे संधिः, इदं हिरण्यम्, अहं च मित्रम्, द्वि गुणा ते वृद्धिः, न अर्हस्य् आत्म क्षयेण मित्र मुखान् अमित्रान् वर्धयितुम्, एते हि वृद्धास् त्वाम् एव परिभविष्यन्ति" इति ॥
WHEN the conqueror is thus attacked by the combined army of his enemies, he may tell their leader: "I shall make peace with you; this is the gold, and I am the friend; your gain is doubled; it is not worthy of you to augment at your own expense the power of your enemies who keep a friendly appearance now; for gaining in power, they will put you down in the long run."
