उदासीनं च यत् तिष्ठेत् सामन्तैस् तद् विरोधयेत् । ततो विग्रह संतप्तम् उपकारे निवेशयेत् ॥

When a friend remains neutral, the conqueror should cause him to incur the displeasure of his immediate enemies; and when he is worried in his wars with them, the conqueror should oblige him with help.

english translation

udAsInaM ca yat tiSThet sAmantais tad virodhayet । tato vigraha saMtaptam upakAre nivezayet ॥
