Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 96
राजाः -- आः किं बहुनोदितेन ।
आत्मोदयः परज्यानिर्द्वयं नीतिरितीयती ।
तदूरीकृत्य कृतिभिर्वाचस्पत्यं प्रतायते ॥
The king observed - Ah, why waste more words on this? The aggrandizement of one's power and the decline of that of the enemy - the accomplishment of these two is all policy, having put forth this pre-eminently, those versed in policy display great eloquence (lit. play the Brihaspati).
