7.16.4

niyogavikalpasamuccayaiś copāyānām anantaraikāntarāḥ prakṛtīḥ sādhayet //

By means of conciliation and gifts, he should subdue weak kings; and by means of sowing the seeds of dissension and by threats, strong kings. By adopting a particular, or an alternative, or all of the strategic means, he should subdue his immediate and distant enemies.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
