weaker King. This is discussed in detail by
Kauṭilya in AS' XII.
ĀSANA --(1) Maintaining a post against an enemy
standing firm so as to repel a charge, (opp. Yāna).
(2) It is one of the six modes of foreign-policy,
together called Ṣāḍguṇya (c.v.)
(3) It is also sometimes called Upekṣaṇa (AS'
VII. 1, Kulluka on Manu Saṁ VII. 160),
Upekṣā (Mitākṣarā on Yājñavalkya, I. 347),
Sthāna (Manu Samṁ VII. 190) and Avasthāna
(Kulluka on Manu Saṁ VII. 190). Cf. upekṣanam āsanam (AS' VII. 1).
(4) Kauṭilya observes that Sthāna, Āsana and
Upekṣaṇa are synonymous. Cf. sthānam āsanam upekṣaṇam cetyāsanaparyāyah (AS'
VII. 4). But yet there are slight differences, when the Aggressor being
equal in strength with the Enemy waits for a
further increase in his strength it is called Āsana.
When the strength of the former is less than that
of the latter, it is called Sthāna, and when there
is indifference in respect of the application of the
expedients (Upāyas), it is called Upeksana. Cf. vis'eṣastu-guṇaikadeṣe sthānam, svavṛddhi-prāptyartham
ā sanamupāyānām aprayoga upekṣaṇam iti (AS' VII. 4).
ĀSĀRA-- (1) Asara is an ally who belongs to the
rear of the Aggressor (Vijīgiṣu), while the ally
belonging to a territory which stands ahead of the
Aggressor is called Mitra. (AS'. VII. 4 etc.). Cf. mitram ākrandas'ca me s'uravṛddhānu-raktaprakṛtih
(AS' VII. 4).
