भद्राघटन्यायः (bhadrAghaTanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
A person called Bhadra served a Yakṣa ardently. As a result of it, he got a Bhadraghaṭa from the Yakṣa which yielded all the desires. Once he served rich delicious food to his relatives and friends. They, obviously, wanted to know the reason behind his sudden prosperity. Once in an intoxicated mood, he kept that jar on his head and began to saunter here and there. Unfortunately, that Bhadraghaṭa fell down from his head and broke into pieces. The maxim, through this example, conveys that an arrogant and an unlucky person cannot retain his affluence. 492.
