सङ्गगुणदोषन्यायः (saGgaguNadoSanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
सन्तताप्तायसि संस्थितस्य पयसो नामापि ज्ञायते मुक्ताकारतया तदेव नलिनीपत्रस्थितं राजते। स्वात्यां सागरशुक्तिकुक्षिपतिते तज्जायते मौक्तिकं प्रायेणोत्तममध्यमाधमदशा संसर्गतो जायते॥ --भर्तृहरि, नीतिशतक, 58
The maxim asserts that it is the company which gives rise to virtues or vices in a person. It is rightly said that a man is known by the company he keeps. The rain water drop fallen on hot iron vanishes immediately, it shines like pearls on lotus leaf but it is actually converted into a pearl if fallen in the sea-shell at the time of Svāti nakṣatra.
