Sutra 58
Devanagari script
यात्रान्ते तु कर्शनीयमुच्छेदनीयं वा कर्शयित्वोच्छिद्य वार्थः श्रेयानुपसम्प्राप्तुं नानर्थः संशयो वा पराबाधभयात् ॥ कZ_०९.७.५८ ॥
Transliteration
yātrānte tu karśanīyam ucchedanīyaṃ vā karśayitvā ucchedya vā arthaḥ śreyān upasamprāptuṃ, na anarthaḥ saṃśayo vā parābādha-bhayāt.
Translation
เมื่อสิ้นสุดการยกทัพ ควรยึดเอาผลประโยชน์โดยทำให้สิ่งที่ต้องทำให้อ่อนกำลังอ่อนกำลังลง หรือกำจัดสิ่งที่ต้องกำจัดเสีย—เพื่อไม่ให้เกิดความเสียหายหรือความไม่แน่นอนจากความหวาดกลัวต่อแรงกดดันของศัตรูที่อาจกลับมาอีก
