Laukikanyayakośa
 
354 दशानामेकादशन्यायः
 
This maxim tells us that it is possible to spend one
rupee more that is eleven rupees if a person is willing
to spend ten rupees. Or it also means that the expenditure
on the eleventh person can be adjusted in the calculated
expenditure of ten persons.
 
355. दामव्यालकटन्यायः
 
Ex. दामव्यालकटन्यायस्तस्मान्मा तेऽस्तु राघव
भीमभासदृढन्यायो नित्यमस्तु तवाना ॥
 
356. दारुपुरुषन्यायः
 
95
 
This maxim is based on a legend. A demon called
Sambara created three demons called Dāma, Vyāla
and Kata, out of his magical power. They had the power
of pounding down mountains like Meru with only the
palms of their hands. But they were born in the category
of mosquitos as a result of their ignorance. This shows
that stupid fellows may attain high positions but
ultimately their ignorance leads them to their ruin.
 
357. दिवातनचन्द्रन्यायः
 
- योगवसिष्ठ 4.34.36
 
This maxim alludes the delusion in which a wooden
figure of a man is mistaken to be a real man.
 
358. दिवान्धन्यायः
 
The moon-light is bright and pleasant in the night but
her light appears to be dim and lusterless in the day
time. Referring to this phenomenon, the maxim conveys
the idea that a man of less qualities or brilliance does
not shine in the presence of a brilliant man.
 
The owl cannot see anything in the daylight. It hates
the sun-light which is useful and beneficial to other
beings. The maxim based on this fact, says that the
mean persons dislike the good and virtuous persons.
