अरुन्धतीन्यायः (arundhatInyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
Ex. यथाऽरुन्धतीं दिदर्शयिषुस्तत्समीपस्थां स्थूलांतारा ममुख्यां प्रथममरुन्धतीति ग्राहयित्वा तां प्रत्याख्यायपश्यादरुन्ध तीमेवग्राहयति, तद्वत् ब्रह्माणमत्मेति बृयात। --ब्रह्मसूत्र, शाङ्करभाष्य I.1-9
This maxim is concerned with the star Arundhati. The bride and the bridegroom are asked to look at this star during their marriage. But some other star is shown at first which is easy to observe and then their attention is diverted to the exact Arundhati star. Thus a minor target is expected to be achieved before performing the main task. 67.
