Canonical Ref: MBh 12.104.18
Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
दीर्घकालमपि क्षान्त्वा विहन्यादेव शात्रवान् । कालाकाङ्क्षी यामयेच्च यथा विस्रम्भमाप्नुयुः ॥
English Scholarly Translation
A king should wait long and then kill his enemies. Indeed, he should wait, for the opportunity, so that he might attack his enemy at a time when the latter would not expect him in the least. A king should never kill a large number of the enemy's army, although he should certainly do that which would secure him decisive victory.
