चण्डालकन्यकान्यायः (caNDAlakanyakAnyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
A king who had married a cāṇḍala lady, was riding on an elephant along with his spouse. The king got down from the elephant only to greet a sage respectfully. The cāṇḍala lady thought that the sage is highly respectable and began to walk with him. The sage, on the way, stopped to pay obeissance to lord Śiva. The lady, then, sat in the temple only. After some time, a dog came there and eased itself on the shrine of Śiva. When the dog began to loiter around the cāṇḍala lady, she thought that the cāṇḍala is superior to all. The maxim suggests that the people come back to their original nature, even after taking efforts for sustaining superior positions.
