tulye balīyastve yaḥ sthitaśatrum utpāṭya bhūmim avāpnoti so 'tisaṃdhatte //
The enemies being equally strong, he who acquires territory after beating a fortified enemy overreaches the other; for the capture of a fort is conducive to the protection of territory and to the destruction of wild tribes.
