7.3.33

bhūmīnām āttasārāṇāṃ mūlavarjaṃ praṇāmanam /
ucchinnasaṃdhis tatreṣṭaḥ paravyasanakāṅkṣiṇaḥ //

When with the exception of the capital, the whole of the territory, impoverished by exploitation of its resources is ceded, it is termed uchchhinnasandhi, ‘peace cut off from profit,’ and is of advantage to one who desires to involve the enemy in troubles.
