यात्रान्ते तु कर्शनीयमुच्छेदनीयं वा कर्शयित्वोच्छिद्य वार्थः श्रेयानुपसम्प्राप्तुं नानर्थः संशयो वा पराबाधभयात् ॥ कZ_०९.७.५८ ॥
yātrānte tu karśanīyam ucchedanīyaṃ vā karśayitvā ucchedya vā arthaḥ śreyān upasamprāptuṃ, na anarthaḥ saṃśayo vā parābādha-bhayāt.
在远征结束时,最好通过削弱必须削弱者或消灭必须消灭者来确保优势——使得不因惧怕敌人再度施压而产生损害或不确定性。
Close the operation with a durable security outcome—either degrade or remove the threat—so the enemy cannot quickly reassert pressure, creating renewed harm or uncertainty.
