मृद्घटन्यायः (mRdghaTanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
मृद्धट दव सुरवमेद्यो दुःसधानश्च दुर्जनो भवति। सुजनस्तु कनकघट इव दुर्भेदः सुकरसंधिश्च॥ --पंचतन्त्र, मित्रसम्प्राप्ति - 38
An earthen jar can be fashioned in a short time but it can be broken or destroyed within a short time. A metal jar requires a good deal of time for perparation but it cannot be broken easily. It lasts for a long time. The maxim is applicable to a similar type of friendship. When it is formed quickly, perishes quickly. But the friendship which is made after a long time, lasts long and is never broken easily.
