from outside but it continues to burn inside. So also,
the maxim assumes, the brilliance of a man may not be
seen externally, nevertheless, it does exist internally.

'Kumbhi' 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. 'Kumbhi'
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.
 
180. कुलकन्यकान्यायः
 
Ex. सत्यं सन्ति गृहे गृहे सुकवयो येषां वचश्चातुरी
स्वे हर्म्ये कुलकन्यकेव लभते जातैर्गुणैगौरवम्।
 
A woman, having beauty, quality and character gets
que 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.
 
181. कुलालचक्रन्यायः
 
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.
