यत्र तु दण्डः प्रहितस् तं वा च अर्थम् अन्यांश् च साधयति तत्र मौल भृत श्रेणी मित्र अटवी बलानाम् अन्यतमम् उपलब्ध देश कालं दण्डं दद्यात्, अमित्र अटवी बलं वा व्यवहित देश कालम् ॥
When a king achieves this or that object with the assistance of a friend who is to receive the help of his army in return later on, then he may send out of his various kinds of army--such as hereditary army, hired army, army formed of corporations of people, his friend's army and the army composed of wild tribes--either that kind of army which has the experience of all sorts of grounds and of seasons or the army of enemies or of wild tribes, which is far removed in space and time.

When a king thinks that, "Though successful, my ally may cause my army to move in an enemy's territory or in wild tracts, and during unfavourable seasons and thereby he may render it useless to me," then under the excuse of having to employ his army otherwise, he may help his ally in any other way.
