हीनश्चेत्सर्वत्रानुप्रणतस्तिष्ठेत्संधिमुपेयात् ॥ कZ_०७.३.१० ॥
hīnaś cetsarvatrānupraṇatas tiṣṭhet saṃdhim upeyāt
Jika seseorang berada dalam keadaan lemah dan terpaksa sentiasa tunduk di mana-mana, maka hendaklah memilih perdamaian (saṃdhi).
When weakness forces continual deference and loss of autonomy across situations, choose a treaty to buy time, preserve capacity, and avoid compounding losses.
