समे हि लाभे संधिः स्याद् विषमे विक्रमो मतः ॥ सम हीन विशिष्टानाम् इत्य् उक्ताः संधि विक्रमाः ॥

When the profit accruing to kings under an agreement, whether they be of equal, inferior, or superior power, is equal to all, that agreement is termed peace (sandhi); when unequal, it is termed defeat (vikrama). Such is the nature of peace and war.
