7.3.29

viṣahyadānād āyatyāṃ kṣamaḥ strībandhanād api /
suvarṇasaṃdhir viśvāsād ekībhāvagato bhavet //

Yet as such a burden can tolerably be paid in future, this peace is better than the one with a woman given as an hostage. When the parties making an agreement of peace are amicably united, it is termed suvarnasandhi, ‘golden peace.’

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
