For this he should be adopt in civil and military administration. The financial policy should also be for the welfare of the people.

Administrator or a state must possess thorough knowledge of the same. Otherwise the officers behave arbitrarily which causes difficult problems. So the ruler should
follow political principles and work for self-protection and welfare of the people.
A ruler with contiguous territory is rival.
Rivalry is natural between two adjoining territories. Mutual disputes and dissension or estrangement develop amongst contiguous states.A ruler and his ministers should be cautions enough to keep away from them.
Rivals (of a ruler) become friend (of each other).
When a country has more than one rival, the friendship develops (among those rivals) to fulfill their selfish ends.
