काकदध्युपघातन्यायः (kAkadadhyupaghAtanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
A person who was going out, asked the person who was at home to protect the curds from the crow. This actually implies that the person should protect it from various dangers. But this person followed the advice literally. He protected it from the crows but allowed the dog to gulp the curd.. 'kāka' is the representative (Upalakṣaṇa) of all such animals which spoil the curds. But this stupid fellow did not understand it. The maxim points to such a thoughtless person.
