Vidura–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Dialogue on Rajadharma and Restitution
यस्याविभक्तं वसु राजन् सहायै- स्तस्य दुःखे5प्यंशभाज: सहाया: । सहायानामेष संग्रहणे<ध्युपाय: सहायाप्तौ पृथिवीप्राप्तिमाहु:,राजन! जिसका धन सहायकोंके लिये बाँटा नहीं है; अर्थात् जिसके धनको सहायक भी अपना ही समझकर भोगते हैं, उसके दुःखमें भी वे सब लोग हिस्सा बँटाते हैं। सहायकोंके संग्रहका यही उपाय है। सहायकोंकी प्राप्ति हो जानेपर पृथ्वीकी ही प्राप्ति हो गयी, ऐसा कहा जाता है

“大王啊，若有人之财不与同伴分隔，使盟友视之如己有而可共用，则其遭忧患之时，这些盟友亦分担其苦。此乃聚拢并稳固助力之道；得助力者，便如得天下，世人如是说。”

Educational Q&A
A ruler secures loyal allies by sharing prosperity with them; those who partake in one’s wealth will also stand with one in adversity. Winning dependable supporters is portrayed as tantamount to winning the kingdom itself.
Vidura addresses a king with counsel in political-ethical terms, explaining a practical principle of alliance-building: integrate supporters into one’s prosperity so that their loyalty extends into times of crisis.
