333 तुष्यतुदुर्जनन्यायः
 
If in a dispute, one accepts the view of the disputant
only temporarily, this maxim which means, Let the
wicked fellow be satisfied', comes into picture.
 
334. तृणजलौकान्यायः
 
This maxim tells about a caterpillar which moves from
one blade of grass to the other one slowly and cautiously.
It does not leave the earlier blade without securing the
other one. This describes a cautious, careful nature of
a person. It also refers to an individual self which
abandons earlier body only when the next embodiment
is secured.
 
335. तृणभक्षणन्यायः
 
89
 
In the olden days, a person used to carry blade of
grass between his teeth which indicated his intention
of surrendering. Here eating should be taken to mean
"holding". A person's self-respect also is hurt in this
act of surrendering by holding a blade of grass with
 
his teeth.
 
336. तृणरज्जुन्यायः
 
(i) बहूनामल्यसाराणां समवायो दुरत्ययः ।
 
- भोजप्रबन्ध 145
 
(ii) तृणैरावेष्टयते रज्जुर्यय्या नागोऽपि बध्यते ।
 
-सुभाषित
 
This maxim tells about the strength of unity. A blade
of grass is very weak but if a number of blades are tied
together, the rope so formed, controls even the mighty
intoxicated elephant.
