This maxim tells that even good intentional actions
also lead to undesirable situations. A Brāhmaṇa used
to give a handful of blackgram to his wife to offer
them to the beggars. When his son got married, he
entrusted this work of distribution of alms to his
daughter-in-law, thinking that less blackgrams will be
carried in her little fists. This girl was very beautiful
and good looking. So many beggars started coming to
his house, not for blackgram but to have a look at this
sweet lady, resulting in the distribution of a large
quantity of blackgrams.

The killer and the one going to be killed can never
remain together. To indicate that hostile persons cannot
