yadi vā manyeta "saṃdhinaikataḥ svakarmāṇi pravartayiṣyāmi, vigraheṇaikataḥ parakarmāṇy upahaniṣyāmi" iti dvaidhībhāvena vṛddhim ātiṣṭhet //
Or if a king thinks:--
"That by making peace with one, I can work out my own resources, and by waging war with another, I can destroy the works of my enemy," then he may adopt that double policy and improve his resources.
