भ्रमरन्यायः (bhramaranyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
When a bee goes near a thorny bush, it avoids the orns and goes to the lowers only. So also, a good person accepts the good qualities and is indifferent to the bad qualities of others.
Moreover, a selfish person approaches only that person by whom he can be benefitted otherwise he shuns him, exactly in a manner in which a person approaches an affluent person and discards him when that chance is not there. A bee can easily make a hole in any hard substance like wood but once it enters into the delicate, loving petals of the beautiful, colourful lotus, it cannot come out. --सा० 323, 324, 325 The maxim conveys the above three meanings.
