Transliteration
putraṃ bhrātaram anyaṃ vā kulyaṃ rāja-grāhiṇam utsāhena sādhayet; utsāhābhāve gṛhītānuvartana-sandhi-karmabhyām ari-sandhāna-bhayāt
Translation
A son, a brother, or another kinsman who seeks to seize the kingship should be dealt with decisively (by force of resolve). If such resolve is lacking, he should be managed by accommodating those already captured and by making a settlement—out of fear that he may ally with the enemy.
