ताननुगुणान्भुञ्जीत सामदानाभ्याम् विगुणान्भेददण्डाभ्याम् ॥ कZ_११.१.०३ ॥
tān anuguṇān bhuñjīta sāma-dānābhyām, viguṇān bheda-daṇḍābhyām
对与自身利益一致者,应以和解与利诱加以驾驭;对不一致者,应以离间分化与强制武力加以处置。
It segments actors by alignment: preserve cooperation with low-cost tools (sāma, dāna) and neutralize resistance by breaking coordination (bheda) and enforcing compliance (daṇḍa).
