[The sovereign, minister, friend, treasury, territory, fortress, and army] are the constituents of sovereignty (rājyāṅga) and the constituents of the state (prakṛti); so too are the guilds of citizens. / Peace (sandhi), [which is] masculine, war (vigraha), marching (yāna), halting (āsana), double-dealing (dvaidha), and seeking refuge (āśraya) [are] / the sixfold policy (ṣaḍguṇa). There are three regal powers (śakti), arising from authority, energy, and counsel. / Decline, stability, and growth are the three states of statecraft (trivarga) for those knowledgeable in polity.
