अवटकच्छपन्याय: (avaTakacchapanyAya:)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
Cf. कूपमण्डूकन्यायः
The maxim implies that the circumstances play a key role for changing the nature of a person. A man becomes broadminded or narrowminded according to the situation in which he is brought up, as a tortoise, living in a small puddle thinks that it is its world.
