sāmantaṃ saṃhitaprayāṇe yojayet "tvam ito yāhi, aham ito yāsyāmi, samāno lābhaḥ" iti //
THE Conqueror should thus over-reach the second element, (the enemy close to his territory):--He should engage his neighbouring enemy to undertake a simultaneous march with him and tell the enemy: "Thou, march in that direction, and I shall march in this direction; and the share in the spoils is equal."
