यदा वा पश्येत् "न शक्यम् एकेन यातुम् अवश्यं च यातव्यम्" इति तदा सम हीन ज्यायोभिः सामवायिकैः सम्भूय यायाद्, एकत्र निर्दिष्टेन अंशेन, अनेकत्र अनिर्दिष्टेन अंशेन ॥

When a king finds himself unable to confront his enemy single-handed and when it is necessary that he should march, then he should make the expedition in combination with kings of inferior, equal, or superior powers.
