Arthashastra
समेन एकेन द्वाभ्यां हीनाभ्यां वा इति द्वाभ्यां हीनाभ्यां श्रेयः ॥
Better to march with two kings of lesser power; for the conqueror can depute them to carry out any two different works and keep them under his control.
english translation
samena ekena dvAbhyAM hInAbhyAM vA iti dvAbhyAM hInAbhyAM zreyaH ॥
