7.11.41

guṇavatīm ādeyāṃ vā bhūmiṃ balavatā krayeṇa yācitaḥ saṃdhim avasthāpya dadyāt //

When a king of immense power compels another to sell a portion of the latter's fertile territory of which the former is very fond, then the latter may make an agreement with the former and sell the land. This is what is termed "unconcealed peace" (anibhritasandhih).

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
