yadā vā paśyet "utsāhayuktā me prakṛtayaḥ saṃhatā vivṛddhāḥ svakarmāṇy avyāhatāś cariṣyanti parasya vā karmāṇy upahaniṣyanti" iti tadā vigṛhyāsīta //

When a king is convinced that his own subjects are brave, united, prosperous, and able not only to carry on their own works without interference, but also to harass his enemy's works, then he may keep quiet after proclaiming war.
