కపిముష్టిన్యాయము • (kapimuṣṭinyāyamu) ? (plural కపిముష్టిన్యాయములు)
- a monkey-like grasp, obstinacy, pertinacity. (This alludes to a mode of catching a monkey, by putting grain into a cocoanut with a hole large enough to admit the monkey's hand: he thrusts it in, and after grasping the grain, his fist is caught in the hole: he obstinately refuses to let the grain go, and thus is secured.)
