Kautilya has referred to Vijigisu who ultimately becomes a Cakravartti. He says

“Sāļgunya” referred to by Dhanapāla are the six measures of foreign policy according to Kautilya."
Sandhi (Peace), Vigraha (war), Āsana (staying quiet), Yāna (marching), Samśraya (seeking shelter) and dvaidhībhāva (dual policy).
Among them entering into a treaty is peace. Doing injury is war. Remaining indifferent is staying quiet. Augmentation (of powers) is marching. Submitting to another is seeking shelter., Resorting to peace (with one) and war (with another) is dual policy.
“Rājyacintakāh Pradhāna Sacivāh means the chief counsellors belonging to the mantriparişad who look after the affairs of the State. 'Sauptikayuddhamārga' is the nocturnal warfare which according to Dhanapāla is devised by the imbecile ksatriyas (Kșudra Ksatriya loka sūtritaḥ Sauptika Yuddhamārgah). 'Kșātrasamaranītih' is the ‘Parājaye śastra tyāgarūpā saṁgrāmanītih' according to the commentator. 'Cakravyūha' has been referred to by Dhanapāla while making a comparison of Samaraketu plunging into the army of Vajrāyudha as Abhimanyu plunged into the army of the Kaurvas arrayed in a Cakravyūha.
Śukra defines Cakravyūha as under
A battle array that is orbed in the manner of a circle and is provided with curved recesses intertwined into eight parts and has only one ingress road to the whole show is called a Cakravyuha.
