359. दीपकलिकान्यायः
 
In this maxim kalikā signifies a flame, resembling a
bud. Though small like a bud in the beginning a flame
can spread sufficient light everywhere. Similarly, a man
who is young in age but great or big in merits, may
have tremendous fame in the world.
 
360. दुर्जनगर्दभन्यायः
 
मलिनीकुर्वन्नर्जुनवर्त्म मदीभवति राधेयः ।
 
यदि ताडनादि लभते तथापि तच्छील एव खलः ॥
 
Laukikanyayakośa
 
There are many common characteristics between an
ass and a wicked man. Both of them are capable of
amassing wealth and both of them become intoxicated
by it. Both of them become excited in the month of
Āṣaḍha and do not change their way of life, though
they receive good thrashing.
 
361. दुर्जनमशकन्यायः
 
The maxim brings out the resemblance between a
wicked person and a mosquito. Both of them attack
the human beings and trouble them.
 
362. दूरस्थपर्वतन्यायः
 
The maxim tells that the mountains appear to be
fascinating from a long distance only. If we go near
them, all the big stones, valleys and dark forests are
visible and make us frighten. They look pleasant from
a distance only. So also, the persons appear to be
good from a distance. The more one tries to go near
them, the more he is disillusioned.
 
363. दूरस्थवनस्पतिकान्यायः
 
The maxim suggests that the two trees appear to be the
same or one from a long distance. The difference
between them is not grasped properly from a distance.
