Purāņa. The potter's wheel moves in a particular
direction. If something is placed on the wheel, it appears

mountains like Meru and the planets like. Dhruva and
also the movement of the sun, moving in conconance
with the time wheel, appear to be different.

184. कुशकाशावलम्बनन्यायः
 
Kusa is a type of grass and kāśa also is a type of grass
which has white flowers. Both kuśa and kāśa are very

points at a man who advances feeble arguments or
takes support of weak things.

मूर्ध्नि वा सर्वलोकस्य विशीर्येत वनेऽथवा ॥
