3.14.8
Men of experience and sagacity have declared to me that the Afghans are not inferior to the Mughals in warlike prowess, but fly away only because of their internal disunion. The Afghans will drive the Mughals from India, whenever they obey one leader and are united under him. You are that fortunate man. Ask your other chiefs and act on their advice; as for us, victory has become your friend, and I have nothing to recommend."
