6.2.35
tābhir abhyuccito jyāyān bhavati, apacito hīnaḥ, tulyaśaktiḥ samaḥ //
The possession of power and happiness in a greater degree makes a king superior to another; in a less degree, inferior; and in an equal degree, equal. Hence a king shall always endeavor to augment his own power and elevate his happiness.
