स्थालीपुलाकन्याय

Shabda-Sagara | Sanskrit  English |   | 
स्थालीपुलाकन्याय  m.  (-यः) The maxim of the cooking-pot and the boiled- rice. In a cooking-pot all the grains are equally moistened by the heated water and so when one knows that one grain is well-cooked he can draw the same inference as regards all others. From this fact the maxim is applied to cases where the condition of the whole is inferred from that of a part.
