7.9.7
samasaṃdhau tu yaḥ sampannaṃ mitraṃ mitrakṛcchre vā mitram avāpnoti so 'tisaṃdhatte //
In an even peace (i.e., agreement on equal terms) whoever acquires a friend of good character or relieves an old friend from troubles, overreaches the other; for help given in misfortune renders friendship very firm.
