This maxim describes a situation in which some people are frightened unnecessarily without any danger. Some soldiers, sense the danger of attack and take shelter below the chariots on the back of the elephants, though there is no danger of attack. They are 'Śukamohanas'. A female mungoose sitting on the branch of a tree becomes afraid on seeing some birds on the tree. This kind of unnecessary fear is called 'Śukanalikānyāya'.
