dhārmikābhiyogī hi sveṣāṃ pareṣāṃ ca dveṣyo bhavati, adhārmikābhiyogī sampriyaḥ //
Enemies being of equal description, he who attacks the rear of one who has gone against a virtuous king gains more advantages, for one who has gone against a virtuous king will incur the displeasure of even his own people, whereas one who has attacked a wicked king will endear himself to all.
