ज्यायसा ह्यवगृहीतश्चरति समाभ्यामतिसंधानाधिक्ये वा ॥ कZ_०७.५.४१ ॥
jyāyasā hy avagṛhītaś carati samābhyām atisaṃdhānādhikye vā
因为与更强的盟友结盟时,行动会受其钳制;因此应与两位势均力敌者同行——或者只有在自己具备更强的结盟运筹能力(更高明的外交组合)时,才接受那位更强者。
It is superior skill in constructing, sequencing, and supervising alliances (and counter-alliances) so that even a stronger partner cannot dominate outcomes.
