'Kumbhiī' is a container in which grains are stored. If

an injunction says that a cow should be presented to a

Brāhmaṇa who has stored grains in kumbhī. 'Kumbhiī'

has no particular singificance, as grains are generally

stored in a container only. In order to avoid the fruitless

nature of the word, the compound can be dissolved as

Brāhmaṇa having grains in one kumbhi only, indicating

his poverty.

A woman, having beauty, quality and character gets
q
due respect in her mother's house only. Inspite of having

many good qualities, she has to work hard in her inlaw's

house and does not get proper respect in her husband's

house. Even then she cannot stay for a long period in

her mother's house because her proper place is in her

husband's house and the people in the society also

give respect only when she remains in her mother-in

law's house.

A potter rotates his wheel speedily with the help of a

stick in his hand. Even though he withdraws his hand

and the stick from the wheel, the rotation continues

for some time. The maxim, based on this event of the

potter's wheel, tells that the impressions of good

behaviour and virtuous character of a person do not

disappear.
