सुकरो हि मित्रेण संधिः नामित्रेणेति ॥ कZ_०९.६.१३ ॥
sukaro hi mitreṇa saṃdhiḥ nāmitreṇeti
Un accord (saṃdhi) est en effet facile avec un ami ; mais pas avec un ennemi.
Treaties are operationally reliable when concluded with a proven ally; concluding them with an enemy is inherently difficult and risk-prone.
