Similarly, when a good person comes in contact with
a wicked person, a good person only suffers and not
the bad person. This is the import of the maxim.
 
133. कनककुण्डलन्यायः
 
Ex. वाचारम्भणं विकारो नामधेयं सुवर्णमित्येव सत्यम् ।
 
Gold and golden ornaments are the same from the
point of view of 'being gold', though they are different
in shape. This maxim shows the essential unity between
cause and effect. Accordingly, the world is the effect
which is not different from the Brahman which is the
cause.
 
134. कन्दुकन्यायः
 
35
 
A ball when pressed down with force, jumps up, as it
is its nature. It does not get pressed even though we
apply full force on it. Following this, the maxim suggests
that even if a good man is suppressed or denigrated,
he is not affected by it. He attains his original position
by his good and virtuous deeds.
 
135, कपिञ्जलन्यायः
 
There is an injunction in the Brāhmaṇas that the
Kapiñjala birds should be sacrificed but the number of
these birds is not mentioned. This doubt arises because
the word Kapiñjala is used in plural. So it can be
inferred that at least three birds should be killed. This
maxim is applied to those items where the grammatical
form determines the meaning of the word.

136. कपित्थभंगन्यायः
 
जानन्नपि खलु जातिं तव न जानामि शीलविभवेन।
तिष्ठतु ममैव मनसि किं कपित्थेन भग्नेन ॥
 
- मृच्छकटिक 6.21
