पृ० 133, 121, 504 (3) खण्डनखण्डखाद्य, पृ० 31.
If a person is offered some space, just to stretch his
legs, he cunningly, tries to stretch his whole body and
wants to occupy as much space as possible. This type
of conduct is described by this maxim. Other meaning
of the maxim is also possible. A man sticks to his aim
or purpose despite his failure and even if there are is
no chance of future success also.

The maxim is applied to a peculiar type of behaviour
in a meeting.
 
(i)
 
(ii)
 
Even if one man works at the meeting, it is
supposed that all those concerned have extended
their co-operation.
 
One member only is arguing about a certain
subject in the meeting. It is supposed that those
who support or those who oppose the argument,
are the members of the meeting.
 
430. पाषाणेष्टकान्यायः
 
This maxim conveys the idea that though two things
appear to be alike, some difference does exist between
the two, as there is some difference in softness or
hardness between a brick and a stone. Though both
are hard, a brick is softer than a stone.
 
431. पिङ्गलाजपन्यायः
 
This maxim describes a hypocritical man, by citing the
instance of a harlot called Pingalā who tried to deceive
a rich person by assuming the form of a Yogini.
