424. पर्वताधित्यकान्यायः
 
Cf. करकङ्कणन्यायः, गंजघटान्यायः
 
The word Adhityakā means the plain land on the top
of the mountain. So, affixing of the word 'Parvata' is
redundant. But as similar maxims show that there must
be some purpose for adding the apparently redundant
word. Cf. उपत्यकाद्रेशसन्ना भूमिउर्ध्वमाधित्यका अमर०
 
425. पवनताडनन्यायः
 
Cf. गगनरोमन्यन्यायः
 
This maxim is used to point out the futility of efforts
like striking the air (wind).
 
426. पाटच्चरयामिकन्यायः
 
A thief steals away everything from a house. What is
the use of appointing a secuity guard after that event?
The maxim indicates the futility of such precautions
after the event.
 
427. पात्रेसंमितन्यायः
 
Some people run away when they are given some work.
But they rush back if they are likely to get some
food. The maxim exposes such opportunists. He is a
treacherous fellow who appears only at the time of
meals and not at the time of work.
 
428. पादप्रसारिकान्यायः
 
Ex. एतत्सर्वमनालोच्य कृत्वा पादप्रसारिकाम् ।
विवेकचक्षुः संमील्य स्वपन्ति ननु जन्तवः ॥
ततो विषादमापन्नः सर्वकर्मपराङ्मुखः ।
स्थितोऽहं मौनमालम्ब्य कृत्वा पादप्रसारिकाम् ॥
