Sanskrit Original
रथा नागा हयाश्चैव पादाताश्चैव पाण्डव। विष्टिर्नावश्चराश्चैव देशिका इति चाष्टमम्॥ अङ्गान्येतानि कौरव्य प्रकाशानि बलस्य तु। जङ्गमाजङ्गमाश्चोक्ताश्चूर्णयोगा विषादयः॥ स्पर्श चाभ्यवहार्ये चाप्युपांशुर्विविधः स्मृतः। अरिर्मित्र उदासीन इत्येतेऽप्यनुवर्णिताः॥
Cars, elephants, horse, and infantry, O son of Pandu, forced labourers, crew, and paid attendants (of armies), and guides taken from the country which is the seat of war, these are the eight means, O Kauravya, of open punishment. The administration of movable and immovable poison was also mentioned regarding the three kinds, of things, viz., dress, food, and incantation. Enemies, allies, and neutrals,—these also were described.
