Ex. एतत्सर्वमनालोच्य कृत्वा पादप्रसारिकाम्। विवेकचक्षुः संमील्य स्वपन्ति ननु जन्तवः॥ ततो विषादमापन्नः सर्वकर्मपराङ्मुखः। स्थितोऽहं मौनमालम्ब्य कृत्वा पादप्रसारिकाम्॥ (1) उपमितिभवप्रपञ्चकथा, पृ० 789, 909, (2) न्यायमञ्जरी, पृ० 133, 121, 504 (3) खण्डनखण्डखाद्य, पृ० 31.
If a person is offered some space, just to stretch his legs, he cunningly, tries to stretch his whole body and wants to occupy as much space as possible. This type of conduct is described by this maxim. Other meaning of the maxim is also possible. A man sticks to his aim or purpose despite his failure and even if there is no chance of future success also.
