पूर्वाह्नच्छायान्यायः (pUrvAhnacchAyAnyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
Ex. दिनस्य पूर्वाधपरार्धभिन्ना छायेव मैत्री खलसज्जनानाम्। --भर्तृहरि, नीतिशतक, 49.
The maxim compares the friendship of the wicked man with the morning shadow, which is the longest in the beginning but gradually reduces as the time passes by. The company with the wicked person is also very thick and intimate at the beginning but goes on declining day by day. The friendship with the good people is quite opposite.
