Meaning:-Arrow released by archer may kill one (person) or may not (if aim of archer is not good). But the brainpower ‘released’ by an intelligent person kill a nation with the king.
ie an intelligent person even if unarmed can bring down nations by sheer intelligence.
best example of this is the fall of nanda dynasty by the hands of Chanakya.
