स्वदीपचुम्बनन्यायः (svadIpacumbananyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
The maxim gives the example of a person who foolishly kisses a burning lamp, thinking that the lamp is his own. When he went near the lamp, he got some burn injuries to his face, lips and to his moustaches. The purport is to decry the practice of being close to somebody, simply because he is his own man.
