मुख्य स्त्री बन्धनं कुर्यात् पूर्वयोः पश्चिमे त्व् अरिम् । साधयेद् गूढम् इत्य् एते दण्ड उपनत संधयः ॥

In the first two forms of the peace, a woman of rank should be given as an hostage, and in the last, a secret attempt should be made to capture the enemy; these are the forms of peace concluded on the condition of supplying his army.
