The maxim avers that the water in a pitcher which is
full of water never shakes. Similarly, a man, having
deep knowledge never complains. He is always quiet
and stable. A man having perfect knowledge and perfect
enlightenment never trembles like a pitcher which is
completely filled with water.

449. पृथिव्योषधिन्यायः
 
The maxim compares the friendship of the wicked
man with the morning shadow, which is the longest in
the beginning but gradually reduces as the time passes
by. The company with the wicked person is also very
thick and intimate at the beginning but goes on declining
day by day. The friendship with the good people is
quite opposite.
 
Ex. यथोर्णनाभिः सृजते गृह्णते च
यथा पृथिव्यामोषधयः सम्भवन्ति ।
यथा सतः पुरुषात् केशलोमानि
तथाऽक्षरात्सम्भवतीह विश्वम् ॥
 
–मुण्डकोपनिषद् 1.1.7; सा० 768
 
The maxim states that just as herbs take their rise from
the earth, the world also arises from the Brahman.
