Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 50
अतस्तद्दूतोऽयं
शुकोऽत्राश्वास्य तावद्ध्रियतां यावद्दुर्गं सज्जीक्रियते । यतः ।
एकः शतं योधयति प्राकारस्थो धनुर्धरः ।
शतं शतसहस्राणि तस्माद् दुर्गं विधीयते ॥
For this purpose, let this parrot, the enemy's emissary, be given assurances and detained here until the fortress is prepared. A single bowman standing on the battlement can fight a hundred, and a hundred a hundred thousand, hence a fortress is set down as necessary.
