मध्यमं त्व् अनुगृह्णतोर् यो मध्यमं मित्रं मित्रतरं वा अनुगृह्णाति सो अतिसंधत्ते ॥

Whoever of the two, the conqueror and his enemy, who may happen to have a friend in the same Madhyama king, helps a Madhyama king of true or truer friendship overreaches the other; for, by helping a true friend, he enriches himself, while the other incurs loss of men and money and the difficulties of sojourning abroad.
