520 _aThe comparison of literatures of the two ancient texts on strategy and warfare, Sun Tzu’s Art of War (China) and Kautilya’s Arthashastra (India), is a challenging and worthwhile exercise. This article attempts the interpretation and comparison of select maxims or aphorisms of Sun Tzu’s Art of War where it matches with a sutra (a statement or a set of rules) in Kautilya’s Arthashastra. The maxims are condensed and coded aphorisms and their enduring essence is clearly applicable today. The article has selected maxims from Sun Tzu’s Art of War’s Chapters 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 13 to include aspects of military factors in appreciations and tactics, humane treatment of prisoners, issues of stratagems, civil-military relations, morale, calamities to avoid, and intelligence.- Reproduced http://43.227.186.66/pdf/20250128100643.pdf
