This is quoted in the context of an incident of a quarrel that arose among friends.
13. Na viśvase grāma-kūtasya jivi(? va)to 'pi mệtasya vā /
eka-grdhrāparādhena sarve grdhrāḥ nipātitāḥ //3.80, p. 227.
This is quoted as the essence of an animal-folklore of vultures, narrated in connection with not putting one's trust in statements that are contrary to the tenets of religious duties, the folklore runs from Gāthās 3.70-79.
14. Patitam vismstań nastañ sthitam sthāpitam-āhitam / adatta nādadīta svaṁ parakiyam kvacit sudhih //
3.745, p. 279. This verse is cited in connection with the remark expressing repentance for entertaining greediness for the lost wealth.
15. Kallolād api budbudād api calad-vidyud-vilāsād api
jimutād api marutād api tarat-tärksyorddhva-pakṣād api Citram citram ayam calā tribhuvane kim srir-na te semukhi naivaṁ kim khala-sangatir na na nanu strī-jātir asyai namah //
3.1049, p. 303. This verse is quoted in connection with a statement that even gods, who know all the arts amd crafts, fail to know even the least about the conduct or character of woman-folk.
16. ślok-ārddhen-aiva tad vaksye yad-uktas grantha-koţibhiḥ / trsnā ca samparityaktā prāptam ca paramaṁ padam //
3.1596, p. 346.
This verse is cited for stressing the supreme importance of uprooting the creeper of avidity. It is modelled on, and hence reminiscent of, the famous verse of Sankarācārya the second half of which runs as 'Brahma satyam jagan-mithyā jīvo brahm-aiva nāparah'.
