7.5.44

tau hi dvikāryasādhakau vaśyau ca bhavataḥ //

Better to march with two kings of lesser power; for the conqueror can depute them to carry out any two different works and keep them under his control. When the desired end is achieved, the inferior king will quietly retire after the satisfaction of his superior.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
