पिता पुत्रयोर् भ्रात्रोर् वा द्वैराज्यं तुल्य योग क्षेमम् अमात्य अवग्रहं वर्तयति ॥
The father governs a dual kingdom, shared equally in prosperity and security, between his two sons or two brothers, or he holds the authority of a minister.
Foreign rule which comes into existence by seizing the country from its king still alive, thinks that the country is not its own, impoverishes it, and carries off its wealth, or treats it as a commercial article; and when the country ceases to love it, it retires abandoning the country.
