सामन्त आटविक तत् कुलीन अपरुद्धानाम् अन्यतम उपग्रहेण कोश दण्ड भूमि दाय याचनम् इति भेदम् आचरेत् ॥

By instigating any one of a neighbouring king, a wild chief, a scion of the enemy's family, or an imprisoned prince, he should sow the seeds of dissension. By capturing the enemy in an open battle, or in a treacherous fight, or through a conspiracy, or in the tumult of seizing the enemy's fort by strategic means, he should punish the enemy.
