kUTa-kArSApaNa-nyAya

[Guest guest]

Anybody heard of the "kUTa-kArSApaNa" ("counterfeit

money") nyAya?

 

Is there any collection, other than Apte's dictionary,

of these proverbial nyAyas? Are these nyAyas from any

one source, or can one conceivably make them up as one

goes along? (e.g. "haMsa-rava-nyAya" = "If it quacks

like a duck, it must be a duck.")

 

The context here is "dhUrtA AbhIra-vadhUs tayA

pratAritA kUTa-kArSApaNa-nyAyena sva-kAmasyaiva

prematva-khyApanayA vaJcitA matir yasya" (glossing the

vocative compound "dhUrtAbhIra-vadhU-pratArita-mate")
