1. In the opinion of Vatavyadhi, foreign policy is only two-fold, namely, war and peace ; but Chanakya refuses to accept this view. 190 PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN ANCIENT INDIA CHAP. In Chanakya's view expediency was to be the main consideration in foreign policy. " If a king, '' says Chanakya, " is weaker than his neighbour, he should adopt a peaceful policy ; but if he is superior in strength to his rival he should make war. 1 When neither of the two is the superior of the other, both should be... neutral. When one king is endowed with an excess of quality, he should prepare for war ; but if he is powerless, he should make an alliance. If the circumstances be such that it is desirable to crush a rival, but this can only be done with the assistance of some other Power, then the king should adopt a policy of double-dealing. " 2 The measures that were to be adopted by kings to carry into effect their foreign policy were four, namely : (i) conciliation (sama) ; (ii) making of gifts (dana) ; (iii) sowing of dissensions (bheda) ; and (iv) punish- ment (danda).
