लशुनभक्षणन्यायः (lazunabhakSaNanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
Garlic has a strong, lingering smell, so it is considered unholy and prohibited in the Śāstras. It has medicinal value also. One patient with an intention of curing his disease, ate it. But to his bad fate, his disease was not cured. He committed a sin by eating that prohibited thing. So he suffered from double disadvantage by eating garlic. The maxim aims at describing an act of double disadvantage by giving the example of garlic.
