मध्यमोदासीनयोर्बलांशदाने यः शूरं कृतास्त्रं दुःखसहमनुरक्तं वा दण्डं ददाति सोऽतिसंधीयते ॥ कZ_०७.८.२५ ॥
madhyamodāsīnayor balāṃśadāne yaḥ śūraṃ kṛtāstraṃ duḥkhasaham anuraktaṃ vā daṇḍaṃ dadāti so ’tisaṃdhīyate
In contributing troop-contingents to the middle king or the neutral, whoever gives a force that is heroic, well-armed, hardship-enduring, or personally loyal—he over-commits (atisandhi).
Because loyal/elite units are high-value strategic capital; transferring them increases dependency and reduces the sender’s deterrence and internal security margin.
