जहत्स्वार्थवृत्तिन्यायः (jahatsvArthavRttinyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
Sometimes the words give up their expressed meaning (Abhidhārtha). Just as a man working for somebody else, gives up his own work. Similar event takes place in semantic parlance and some secondary meaning becomes prominent. The event is called Jahallakṣaṇā, in which the function of the word gives up its direct meaning. This is the intent of the maxim.
