संहत्यारिविजिगीष्वोरमित्रयोः पराभियोगिनोः पार्ष्णिं गृह्णतोर्यः शक्तिसम्पन्नस्य पार्ष्णिं गृह्णाति सोऽतिसंधत्ते ॥ कZ_०७.१३.०१ ॥
saṃhatyārivijigīṣvor amitrayoḥ parābhiyoginoḥ pārṣṇiṃ gṛhṇator yaḥ śaktisampannasya pārṣṇiṃ gṛhṇāti so’tisaṃdhatte
Quando dois reis hostis, agindo em conjunto, pressionam o ataque e ambos procuram tomar o “calcanhar” (a retaguarda) de quem marcha, aquele que toma a retaguarda da parte mais forte é dito estar a exceder-se (atisaṃdhi).
Do not provoke the stronger belligerent by attacking its rear; that choice is labeled ‘overreach’ because it invites disproportionate retaliation.
A power that threatens or attacks the marching king from behind—by raids, cutting supplies, or striking the base and communications.
