तुलना । Comparison.
अक्क-सुरहीण खीरं कक्कर- रयणाई पत्थरा दोवि । एरंड - कप्पतरुणो रुक्खा पुण अंतरं गरुअं ॥ १६८ ॥ अर्क - सुरभ्योः क्षीरं कर्कर-रत्न पाषाणौ द्वावपि । एरण्ड-कल्पतरू वृक्षौ पुनरन्तरं गुरु ॥ १६८ ॥
The milky juice ( sap ) of swellow wort ( Lat : calotropis gigantia ) and the milk of a cow-both are milk ; pieces of quartzstones and gems — both are stones, the castor-oil plant (Lat: Pelma christi or Ricinus communis) and the Kalpa tree (a mythological tree which gives every thing desired)-both are trees; but the difference between these pairs of things are great.
वायस - साण - खराई निवारियावि हु हवंति असुइ-रुई । हंस - करि-सिंह- पमुहा न कयावि पणुल्लियावि पुणो ॥ १६६ ॥ वायसभ्वानखरादयो निवारिता अपि खलु भवन्त्यशुचिरुचयः । हंसकरिसिंहप्रमुखा न कदापि प्रणोदिता अपि पुनः ॥ १६६ ॥
Animals like crow, dog or ass, though forbidden, turn to filthiness (lit: become of impure or uncleanly taste) while animals like swan, elephant, lion and others never incline towards filthy things although persuaded to do so.
