छागपशुन्यायः (chAgapazunyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
This maxim refers to the semantic law of contraction where meanings of some words are contracted in certain contexts. In Sanskrit ('Paśu') animal means all animals including an ox but in Vedic language, the meaning of this word animal (Paśu) is contracted. It means only a goat, especially one which is offered in a sacrifice. 278.
