DVAIDHĪBHĀVA. One of the six qualities, others being Sandhi, Vigraha, Yāna, Āsana, and Saṃśraya. Sandhi is to make peace with the enemy. Vigraha is war. The journey to battle is Yāna. Āsana is, not going for war. Dvaidhībhāva is dividing his army into two, i.e. if the army rose against the King, he should bring one party on his side and make the two parties fight with each other.
