तान् अनुगुणान् भुञ्जीत साम दानाभ्याम्, विगुणान् भेद दण्डाभ्याम् ॥

By means of conciliation and gifts, the conqueror should secure and enjoy the services of such corporations as are invincible to the enemy and are favourably disposed towards himself. But those who are opposed to him, he should put down by sowing the seeds of dissension among them and by secretly punishing them.

english translation
