घृतकोशातकीन्यायः (ghRtakozAtakInyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
Ghṛta means ghee. Kośātaki is a type of gourd. The compound word means a gourd with ghee inside. But actually there is no ghee inside that fruit or vegetable. The word is a misnomer. The maxim describes such things (or persons), the names of which are contradictory to their contents. The name of a person is Lakṣminārāyaṇa but he has no gold on his body. 251.
