भूम्य् एक देश त्यागेन शेष प्रकृति रक्षणम् । आदिष्ट संधिस् तत्र इष्टो गूढ स्तेन उपघातिनः ॥

When by ceding a part of the territory, the rest of the kingdom with its subjects are kept safe, it is termed ádishta, „ceded,‟ and is of advantage to one who is desirous of destroying thieves and other wicked persons (infesting the ceded part).
