This maxim alludes to a legend. Once some thieves

stole some precious articles from the royal palace. The

police began to chase them. Being afraid of the royal

police, they threw away those things near the sage

Māṇḍavya who was silently practising penance. The
police thought that the sage had stolen the things and

police thought that the sage had stolen the things and
produced the sage before the king who sentenced him

to death. This maxim tells that even good and innocent

persons suffer, owing to the cruel deeds of the wicked.

When it is said that the umbrella men are passing by, it

is also implied that there are many men without umbrella

also who are passing out with them. The maxim

suggests that any objective expression is based on the
prominent principal aspect.

This maxim refers to the semantic law of contraction

where meanings of some words are contracted in certain

contexts. In Sanskrit ('Paśu') animal means all animals

including an ox but in Vedic language, the meaning of

this word animal (Pasśu) is contracted. It means only a

goat, especially one which is offered in a sacrifice.
