Great kings will always try to avoid enmity with other kings and it is therefore averred by Valluvar that the feelings of enmity ought not to be entertained even in a playful mood. It should be the policy of every king to convert his enemies into allies and it will bring subsequently the whole world, according to Valluvar, under his sovereignty. Negligence in this respect may be tolerable in the days of prosperity, but when the country is facing the evils of adversity, kings must diligently avert wars at any cost. If the enemy is not aware of the difficulties,, the king must not on any account complain to him; for it will betray his weakness and pave way for his downfall. If proper and timely measures are taken to strengthen the forces with all the sinews of war, the pride of the enemy will certainly fade away.
