388. नसिप्रोतबलीवर्दन्यायः
 
Ex. यथा गावो नसि प्रोतास्तन्त्यां वद्धाश्च दामभिः ।
वाक्तन्यां नामभिर्बद्धां वहन्ति बलिमीशितुः ॥
 
Laukikanyāyakośa
 
- भागवत XII, 12.41; सा० 592
 
A rope is put in the nostrils of a bull with which the
owner controls it. The bull does the work of carrying
burden. So also. says the maxim, men are controlled
by such rein-like rope which is made of long fibres of
Vedic injunctions about Varņas and Āśrainas.
The senses are compared to a bull here.
 
389. नागोष्ट्रन्यायः
 
The Vedic sentence like "a camel was saved and a boa
was killed", are found in the Vedas. Similar sentences
indicate the unsublating nature of the self. They set
aside the non-self entities and secure the immutability
of the self.
 
390. नानावृक्षरसन्यायः
 
Cf. शकुनिसूत्रन्याय, नदीसमुद्रन्याय, चौरापहार्यन्यायः
यथा पक्षी च सूत्रं च नानावृक्षरसा यथा ।
यथा नद्यः समुद्राश्च शुद्धोदलवणे यथा ॥
चोरापहार्यो च यथा यथा पुंविषया अपि ।
तथा जीवेश्वरौ भिन्नौ सर्वदैव विलक्षणौ ॥
 
- माधवाचार्य, सर्वदर्शनसङ्ग्रह, पूर्णप्रज्ञदर्शन
 
The trees in a forest constitute a forest from the point
of view of unity, but exist as separate trees from the
distributory point of view. The maxim is employed by
the followers of Madhva to point out the separate nature
of the individual selves, though they are part and parcel
of the Almighty only.
