ekaḥ śataṃ yodhayati prākārastho dhanurdharaḥ
śataṃ daśasahasrāṇi tasmād durgaṃ vidhīyate //

One bowman, placed on a rampart, is a match in battle for one hundred (foes), one hundred for ten thousand; hence it is prescribed (in the Sastras that a king will posses) a fortress.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
