1.Sama, means conciliation or alliances.When the situation of conflict arises , the firsts step is to talk.
2. Dana, means compensation.- offer something which the other person cannot deny
3.Bheda, means rupture or divide and rule.
4. Danda,the last step, is to use of force to get what you want.
A correction, you got the quote wrong & its not a telugu quote, its a Chanakya neeti - "Saam daam dhand bhed" - actually meaning of words is "persuade, purchase, punish and exploit the weakness".
You try to persuade/negotiate, when that doesn't work - you try to use your wealth (metaphorically), if even that fails, you try to punish (calling for war, isolate the enemy) & final step is to exploit the other's weakness -> basically its like a war-call. Here's an article which describes the quote better than me - truechanakya.com/saam-daam-dand-bhed-chanakya-neeti/
In telugu the better quote would - "andite kaalu, leka pothe juttu", which roughly translates to - when its your necessity you catch their legs (plead) & when you don't need the person, you can catch their hair (being abusive).
