Pratibimba fetches water when bimba fetches water. There is no other way.
Because they are identical.

You would certainly have misunderstood that. No one in entire Indian
knowledge system claims existence of horns of hare or of barren woman's son.

So as per some, there are chances that hare’s horn is used to kill the

Misconstrued.

BTW, I have stopped reading these type of arguments long time back as these

A result of hasty conclusion on account of non-deliberation.


//I am also one of those ‘no one’ 😊 Others are easily can understand the
statements from the brilliant logician’s desk like :  , if bimba-pot is
produced from clay, pratibimba is not born from non-clay. Bimba and
pratibimba have the same material !! //

One does not need to be a great logician to appreciate प्रतिबिम्बो
बिम्बाभिन्नः, बिम्बाजनकाजन्यत्वात्। It is substantiated by evidence.

Pratibimba-of-AbharaNa is same as AbharaNa. I hope you are not mistaking
mirror for darpaNAbharaNa.

In any case, as an advice, if you want to make your wife happy, please
ensure that her pratibimba is happy. That will be necessary as well as
sufficient.
