लौकिकन्यायः
Englishयो ध्रुवाणि परित्यज्य ध्रुवाणि निषेवते। ध्रुवं तस्य निननष्टं स्यादध्रुवं नष्टमेव हि॥ --हितोपदेश, मित्रलाभ 184
The maxim is based on a legend of a woman who had one son but was eager to have one more son. Not satisfied with one son, she began to pray God for another son. She approached a lady who was a hypocrite. That lady advised her to sacrifice her first son for getting a second son. Having come to know this, an old lady advised her not to believe that wretched lady because if she did not get another son, she would loose the first son also. That would lead to total despair. The maxim suggests that one who runs after imaginary benefits, abandoning the one in hand, comes to ruin.
