759. हिरण्यनिधिन्यायः
 
The maxim suggests that the men who often go to the
Brahmaloka have no idea about the Brahmaloka. There
is a good deal of wealth in the womb of the earth. But
the people walking on the surface of the earth have no
idea about it.
 
760. हेरम्बनरसिंहन्यायः
 
The maxim intends to paint a picture of a situation
when mutually opposite things come together. The idol
of Ganesa is a combination of an elephant and a man.
The elephant and the lion partially occupy the bodies
of Gaṇeśa and Narasimha partially. The theory of
Anekanta of the Jainas is a set of many opposite concepts
like is and is not.
