मित्राभावे प्रकृतीनां लघीयस्यैकतोऽनर्थां साधयेत् उभयतोऽनर्थां ज्यायस्या समन्ततोऽनर्थां मूलेन प्रतिकुर्यात् ॥ कZ_०९.७.३४ ॥

mitrābhāve prakṛtīnāṃ laghīyasy aikato'narthāṃ sādhayet, ubhayato'narthāṃ jyāyasyāḥ, samantato'narthāṃ mūlena pratikuryāt
Translation
মিত্র না থাকলে, একপাশের ক্ষতি সামলাতে রাষ্ট্রের দুর্বল/হালকা উপাদানগুলোকে শক্তিশালী করবে; দু’পাশের ক্ষতি সামলাতে শক্তিশালী উপাদানগুলোকে আরও দৃঢ় করবে; আর চারদিকের ক্ষতি হলে মূল কারণেই প্রতিকার করবে।
