Ex. अशक्ये विनियुक्तोऽपि कृष्णलाग् श्रपयेदिति।
सर्वात्मनःऽनाप्यसौ कुर्वन् कुर्यातस्करकन्दुवत्॥
--सुरेश्वराचार्य
This maxim is based on a legend. Once a thief was
caught in a kitchen. The thief pleaded that he was a
cook, and that he was appointed as a cook in some
house. But once he was caught red handed, stealing
some articles in the kitchen. This shows that the
tendency to do some thing beyond ones scope or
capacity ultimately ruins a person.
323. <headword>तालवृक्षच्छायान्यायः</headword>
A palmyra tree grows tall but it can never give good
shadow to the travellers. The fruits of this tree also
grow on such a height that the passers by cannot pluck
and eat them. Similarly, a person may be occupying a
high position like the tall, great palmyra tree. But he is
of no use for his fellowmen who seek shelter or help
from him. What is the use of his greatness? The maxim
describes people, who are great but useless for the
society.
324. <headword>तालसर्पन्यायः</headword>
If a serpent wants to eat a fruit of the palmyra tree, it
cannot do so because the knots of the tree are bent
upwards and as such it cannot climb. Moreover, the
belly of the serpent is likely to be torn while climbing
it. This maxim thus advises that one should not go to a
place, fraught with danger, to obtain some fruit.
