अन्धगजन्यायः (andhagajanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
Some blind men were sitting together. A man with his elephant came there. He asked the blind persons to describe the animal. Some blindmen touched his pillarlike feet, some his winnowing basket-like ears, some his long tusk and some his little tail at the back, and began to describe the elephant accordingly. As all of them could not see the animal, they could not give a complete, integrated picture of the elephant. The maxim throws light on the people who have partial knowledge of certain thing and think that the entire thing exists like that. --सा० 76 39.
