8.4.14

neti kauṭilyaḥ //

No, says Kautilya, troubles due to one's own Circle can be got rid of by arresting or destroying the leaders among the subjective people; or they may be injurious to a part of the country, whereas troubles due to an enemy's Circle of States cause oppression by inflicting loss and destruction and by burning, devastation, and plunder.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
