लौकिकन्यायः
English'Kharī' means a vessel made of wood or stone. The maxim originates from a legend. A milk vendor used to carry milk into two vessels, hanging on both the sides of the bamboo, and carrying the stick on his shoulders. Later he used to get one pot-full of milk only. So he tied a stone of equal weight on the other side of the stick. When the people asked him about the stone, he said if he carried only one vessel, he may lose the habit of carrying the weight of two pots. Moreover, the milk pot does not shake. All this shows that the milk vendor had to face misfortune of carrying the weight of the stone also without any advantage. The maxim aims at this profitless act.
