अमित्रम् आत्मनो वा मध्यमो लिप्सेत, कोश दण्डाभ्याम् एनम् अदृश्यमानो अनुगृह्णीयात् ॥

If the madhyama king is desirous of securing the conqueror's enemy as his friend, then the conqueror should indirectly (i.e., without being known to the madhyama) help the enemy with wealth and army.

english translation

amitram Atmano vA madhyamo lipseta, koza daNDAbhyAm enam adRzyamAno anugRhNIyAt ॥
