the flowering period indicates that the fruit is not far.
But pregnancy may take place even without the
appearance of flower (maturity), as is the case with
Udumbara tree or a jackfruit tree. We never see the
flower of these trees but (they bear fruits without
flowering) we see their fruits only.

A jar is filled with poison but milk or a vessel full of
milk is kept on the top or at the opening of the jar.
Similarly, some men speak gently or lovingly but they
may carry poison (are wicked) in their heart-says the
maxim.

Ex. आरम्भगुर्वी क्षयिणी क्रमेण
लघ्वी पुरा वृद्धिमती च पश्चात् ।
दिनस्य पूर्वाधंपराधीभिन्ना
छायेव मैत्री खलु सज्जनानाम्।

The length of a shadow of a thing is less in the earlier
part of the day; while it is longer in the later part of the
day. It is short in the afternoon but gradually it increases
in the latter part of the day. The maxim opines that the
friendship with the good people is longer and stable
after some days though it seems shorter in the early
days.
 
In contrast to this, the friendship with the wicked appears
to be longer or close in the beginning but becomes
shorter or less as the time passes.
