251 घृतदग्धन्यायः
 
If water is sprinkled on burn injury, that will develop
some sores on the burnt parts. Ghee is also a type of
liquid. But when it is sprinkled on the wound, the
burning sensation of the wound is not only reduced
but no sores also come up. Ghee actually helps in
healing the wound. So apparently, when things which
appear malevolent, actually help the growth or healing.
This is the purport of this maxim.
 
252. घोटकब्रह्मचारिन्यायः
 
A horse behaves like a detached passionless animal as
long as it does not come across a mare (a female
horse). But once it sees, it runs after the mare.
Some people observe celibacy so long as they are away
from the women. When they come across a damsel,
they get lured by her. This restricted celibacy is the
import of this maxim.
 
253. चक्रनाभिन्यायः

Cf. अन्योन्याश्रयन्यायः ।
 
- महाभारत, शान्तिपर्व 118.1 Nīlakantha's commentary
The maxim hints at mutual dependence by giving an
example of wheels of a cart which moves smoothly
because of their being supported by the axis.
 
254. चक्रभ्रमणन्यायः
 
Ex. यथा दण्डापगमे संस्कारवशाच्चक्रं भ्रमति तथा
 
विवेकिनापि देहधारणकर्मणोरक्षीणत्वान्न तत्क्षणान्मुक्तिः,
किन्तूपभोगादिना कर्मक्षयादिति । तथा च श्रुतिः
दीक्षयैव नरो मुच्येत्तिष्ठेमुक्तोऽपि विग्रह ।
कुलालचक्रमध्यस्थो विच्छिन्नोऽपि भ्रमेद् घटः ॥
