6.2.19
bhūmyanantaraḥ prakṛtimitraḥ, tulyābhijanaḥ sahajaḥ, viruddho virodhayitā vā kṛtrimaḥ //
That foe who is equally of high birth and occupies a territory close to that of the conqueror is a natural enemy; while he who is merely antagonistic and creates enemies to the conqueror is a factitious enemy.
