bhūmyekadeśatyāgena śeṣaprakṛtirakṣaṇam /
ādiṣṭasaṃdhis tatreṣṭo gūḍhastenopaghātinaḥ //

When by ceding a part of the territory, the rest of the kingdom with its subjects are kept safe, it is termed ádishta, ‘ceded,’ and is of advantage to one who is desirous of destroying thieves and other wicked persons (infesting the ceded part).

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
