कर्षक प्राये तु दुर्ग व्यसनम्, आयुधीय प्राये तु जन पदे जन पद व्यसनम् इति ॥
while in a
country which consists purely of warlike people, troubles that may
appear are due to the absence of (an expansive and cultivated)
territory.
Pisuna says that of the troubles due to the absence of forts and
to want of finance, troubles due to want of finance are more
serious; the repair of fortifications and their maintenance depend
upon finance.
"कोश मूलो हि दुर्ग संस्कारो दुर्ग रक्षणं जन पद मित्र अमित्र निग्रहो देश अन्तरितानाम् उत्साहनं दण्ड बल व्यवहारश् च ॥
by means of wealth, intrigue to capture an enemy's
fort may be carried on; by means of wealth, the people, friends, and
enemies can be kept under control; by means of it, outsiders can be
encouraged and the establishment of the army and its operations
conducted.
