एवं भूतो वा हीन शक्ति प्रताप पूरण अर्थं सम्भाव्य अर्थ अभिसारी मूल पार्ष्णि त्राण अर्थं वा ज्यायांसं हीनो बल समाद् विशिष्टेन लाभेन पणेत ॥

In view of marching for the purpose of exacting some expected revenue to be utilised in recouping his own strength and resources, an inferior king may request of a superior the help of the latter's army for the purpose of guarding the base and the rear of his territory in return for the payment of a greater share in the profit than the strength of the arm supplied deserves.
