राजानम् अवगृह्य उपजीविनः शत्रु साधारणा वा ये मुख्यास् तेषु गूढ पुरुष प्रणिधिः कृत्य पक्ष उपग्रहो वा सिद्धिः यथा उक्तं पुरस्ताद्, उपजापो अपसर्पो वा यथा पारग्रामिके वक्ष्यामः ॥

With regard to those chiefs who, though living by service under the king, are inimically disposed towards him, or have taken the side of his enemy, a spy with secret mission or one in the guise of an ascetic and devoted to the king's cause shall set to work as described before. or a spy trained in the art of sowing the seeds of dissension may set to work, as will be described in connection with the „Invasion of an enemy's villages.‟
