Laukikanyāyakośa
 
Cămīkara' means gold. Secondarily any golden
ornament is called Cămīkara! It also means golden
chain put around the neck. A stupid person has no
idea about the golden chain, he has put on. Similarly,
a person, though Brahman from the ultimate point of
view, does not realize it, owing to ignorance only.
A teacher can make him realize it. Though Brahman
is indirectly realized through understanding, the real
nature of the individual soul; the self as it were is not
realized owing to the influence of Mãyā. It is the advice
of the preceptor which advises him to realize it inwardly.

This maxim is generally applied to a person who wipes

the fruit called 'Kataka' removes the dirt from the water
when that fruit is put in it.

The Kadamba tree puts forth buds simultaneously. This
maxim is applied to a situation when many events occur
simultaneously.
 
Whether a thorn gets stuck up to a plantain tree or a
plantain tree is pierced by the thorn, the result is the
same! Both ways, the plantain tree only suffers.
