86. अस्नेहदीपन्यायः
तत्र वर्षसहस्त्राणि निर्विकल्पसमाधिना ।
दश स्थित्वा शशामासावात्मन्यस्नेहदीपवत् ॥
87. अहिकुण्डलन्यायः
A lamp burns till there is oil in it. When the oil is
exhausted, it remains extinguished. It is a lamp for
name's sake only. It does not serve the purpose of
giving light.

88. अर्हिनकुलन्यायः
- योगवासिष्ठ 2.1.44
If one looks at a serpent, it appears to be one serpent
only. But when one looks at it from distributive angles
like its colour, coil, hood and the like, it appears with
difference. It is one from the point of view of 'serpent-
ness' but it appears in various forms, considering its
hood, coil etc. The maxim has basis of the unitary and
distributive point of view. The Brahman appears one, but
when looked at from different point of view, it has
multifarious forms.
89. अहिभुक्कैवर्तन्यायः
This maxim suggests the natural enmity between a
serpent and a mungoose. Similarly, when there is
natural enmity between two individuals, castes and
communities, this maxim is applied.
An intoxicated person sat in a boat and tied a thread to
his leg as a mark of his identity. The boatman saw it
and tied a thread to the leg of another traveller. When
the boat arrived at the shore, the first traveller, still in
the intoxicated mood, shouted "A person with the
thread on his leg is myself". This suggests that an
ignorant man forgets the real nature of himself and
even declares that somebody else is himself only.
