गुणवतीमादेयां वा भूमिं बलवता क्रयेण याचितः संधिमवस्थाप्य दद्यात् ॥ कZ_०७.११.४१ ॥
guṇavatīm ādeyāṃ vā bhūmiṃ balavatā krayeṇa yācitaḥ saṃdhim avasthāpya dadyāt
बलवता याचितः—क्रयार्थं वा—सन्धिं स्थापयित्वा गुणवन्तीम् आदेयां वा भूमिं दद्यात्।
If coerced by a stronger adversary, a controlled concession can buy time, avert immediate defeat, and preserve core state capacity.
It frames cession as temporary/strategic—territory may be reclaimed later when the balance of power shifts.
