9.7.31

tulye lābhaguṇe pradhānam āsannam anatipātinam ūno vā yena bhavet tam ādātuṃ yāyāt //

When the prospect of acquiring profit from one or the other side is irremediably obstructed by enemies, it is called "dangerous wealth." In this case as well as in the case of profit from all sides, one should undertake to march for acquiring profitable wealth. When the prospects of getting wealth (from two sides) are equal, one should march to secure that which is important, near, unfailing, and obtainable by easy means.
