दुर्बलं तु न्यायवृत्तिमभियुक्तं प्रकृतयः परिगृह्णन्ति अनुनिष्पतन्ति वा ॥ कZ_०७.५.१८ ॥
durbalaṃ tu nyāyavṛttim abhiyuktaṃ prakṛtayaḥ parigṛhṇanti anuniṣpatanti vā ||
أما إذا هوجم حاكمٌ ضعيفٌ يحكم بالعدل، فإن رعيته يحمونه وقد يتبعونه إلى المنفى/الانسحاب بدلًا من التخلي عنه.
A just ruler retains organizational cohesion even in defeat: officials and forces remain attached enough to preserve continuity of command and potential restoration.
