Note 206 — YUDDHAKĀNDAM. (continued 4)
Manmatha Nath Dutt translation
The five ways are (1) the means of commencing an act (2) person, thing and wealth, (3) division of season and place, (4) providing against mischance, (5) success. The three kinds of action are treaty, war, etc. All this is nebulous; and the commentator is sadly reticent over this extremely important passage.—T.
