भेदं वा ब्रूयात् "अनपकारो यथा अहम् एतैः सम्भूय अभियुक्तस् तथा त्वाम् अप्य् एते संहित बलाः स्वस्था व्यसने वा अभियोक्ष्यन्ते, बलं हि चित्तं विकरोति, तद् एषां विघातय" इति ॥

Or he may tell the leader so as to break the combination: "Just as an innocent person like myself is now attacked by the combined army of these kings, so the very same kings in combination will attack you in weal or woe; for power intoxicates the mind; hence break their combination."
