कपित्थभंगन्यायः (kapitthabhaMganyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
जानन्नपि खलु जातिं तव जानामि शीलविभवेन। तिष्ठतु ममैव मनसि किं कपित्थेन भग्नेन॥ --मृच्छकटिक 6.21 Even if a wood-apple fruit is broken, it does not yield any substantial matter, as it is almost hollow inside. Too much of analysis leads to disappointment.
This maxim is used in the Sanskrit drama "Mṛchha kaṭika". Considering the caste of somebody is as useless as breaking the wood-apple fruit.
