7.9.30

daṇḍaś ca hiraṇyenānye ca kāmāḥ prāpyanta iti //

Not so, says Kautilya: a friend possessing immense gold is better; for possession of gold is ever desirable; but an army is not always required. Moreover armies and other desired objects can be purchased for gold.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
