तमेव हि प्रत्यावृत्तो ग्रसते इत्याचार्याः ॥ कZ_०७.४.०८ ॥
tam eva hi pratyāvṛtto grasate ity ācāryāḥ.
आचार्यांच्या मते, जो (मोहीमेतून) परत फिरतो, तो त्याच (शक्ती/उपक्रम) कडून गिळला जातो।
Commitment and credibility: reversing course can invite exploitation by adversaries and allies alike, making the retreating actor the immediate target.
