तेषां शत्रु विरोधे यन् मित्रम् एक अर्थतां व्रजेत् । शक्त्या तद् अनुगृह्णीयाद् विषहेत यया परम् ॥

Of these kings, the conqueror should, as far as possible, help that friend who has the same end in view as the conqueror in his conflict with the enemy, and thus hold the enemy at bay.

english translation

teSAM zatru virodhe yan mitram eka arthatAM vrajet । zaktyA tad anugRhNIyAd viSaheta yayA param ॥
