भेदयेद्भिन्नमुच्छिन्द्यात्ततः शत्रुमनन्तरम् ॥ कZ_०७.१८.३६च्द् ॥
bhedayed bhinnam ucchindyāt tataḥ śatrum anantaram
Dia hendaklah menimbulkan perpecahan; setelah berpecah, hendaklah memutuskan (memusnahkan) bahagian yang terpisah; kemudian, sejurus selepas itu, musuh.
Division is only useful if followed by swift neutralization of the separated element and then quick pressure on the main enemy before reunification.
