तीरबकन्यायः (tIrabakanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
This maxim describes a person who pretends to be calm and uninvolved but acts swiftly when some personal benefit or self-interest is involved
exactly like a crane who stands quietly closing eyes on the bank of a river, pretending that it is practising meditation, but when a fish comes within its range, it catches and swallows it swiftly.
