प्रयाणमात्रेण परे प्रसाद्ये
वर्तेत यानेन कृताऽभिरक्षः ।
अशक्नुवन्कर्तुमरेर्विघातं
स्वकर्मरक्षां च परं ष्रयेत ॥

Karandikar If the enemy be vanquishable merely by marching against him, (the king) should, after having made security arrange ments, march forward. But, (if ) unable to effect the destruction of the enemy and the protection of ones self, (he) should seek protection from another.
