'After conquering them, do you strive to protect them diligently? Is your army comprised of four types of forces — regular troops, allies, mercenaries, and irregulars — each equipped with the eight components: chariots, elephants, horses, officers, infantry, camp followers, knowledgeable spies, and banners? Are they led into battle against your enemies after thorough training by experienced officers?' ॥ 2-5-53 ॥
