Laukikanyāyakośa
a man runs away in fear, looking at an empty
scabbard, he will be called the stupid coward. This
maxim describes a man who feels frightened by some
external appearance of danger.
213. खण्डितशाखान्यायः
The maxim states that even if a branch of a tree gives
way, sprouts are seen growing from the place from
which it is broken. Similarly, if a good or prosperous
man loses something, it does not require much time
for him to recover.
214. खपुष्पन्यायः
The flower of the sky is a fictitous notion. This maxim
thereby, is applied to an impossible, non-existing thing!
215. खराश्वन्यायः
Cf. खरीविषाणन्यायः
This maxim hints at a wonderful and an astonishing
situation and at the same time an impossible and an
unimaginable thing in which a horse may be converted
into an ass or vice versa.
216. खरीपाषाणन्यायः
'Khari' means a vessel made of wood or stone.
The maxim originates from a legend. A milk vender
used to carry milk into two vessels, hanging on both
the sides of the bamboo, and carrying the stick on his
shoulders. Later he used to get one pot-full of milk
only. So he tied a stone of equal weight on the other
side of the stick. When the people asked him about the
stone, he said if he carried only one vessel, he may
lose the habit of carrying the weight of two pots.
Moreover, the milk pot does not shake. All this shows
