7.5.2
amitrasiddhau hi yātavyaḥ sāhāyyaṃ dadyān nāmitro yātavyasiddhau //
The strong enemy is to be marched against first; after vanquishing him, the assailable enemy is to be attacked, for, when a strong enemy has been vanquished, an assailable enemy will volunteer of his own accord to help the conqueror; but not so, a strong enemy.
