Laukikanyāyakośa
The man who manufactures a jar and the God who
fashions the entire universe, are far different from each
other. This maxim suggests that it is ridiculous for a
man of inferior power to vie with a powerful, strong
person.
242. घटप्रदीपन्यायः
Cf.
घटसूर्यबिम्बन्यायः
If a lamp is placed inside a big jar, it illumines almost
the entire part of the jar. Similarly, suggests the maxim
that the man of knowledge (or wisdom) spreads his
knowledge, though he may not remain in the light of
publicity. This maxim can be explained thus. The
influence of a person may have limited sphere as the
lamp in the jar spreads light inside the entire part of
the jar only.
243. घटारोहणन्यायः
This maxim indicates an ordeal in which the suspected
criminal is asked to stand on a jar without trembling to
prove his innocence.
244. घटाल्पदर्पणन्यायः
A jar, an elephant's temple and a mountain may be
enormously big in their own way, but appear to be
small when they are reflected in a mirror. This maxim
steps in when bigger things are to be estimated with
the help of small things.
245. घटियन्त्रन्यायः
आपद्गतं हससि किं द्रविणान्धमूढ
लक्ष्मीः स्थिरा न भवतीति किमत्र चित्रम् ।
किं त्वं न पश्यसि घटीजलयन्त्रचक्रे
रिक्ता भवन्ति भरिता भरिताश्च रिक्ताः ॥
