पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

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.

स्थालीपुलाकन्याय / स्थाली-पुलाक-न्याय m. the rule of boiled rice in a cooking vessel, i.e. the inferring of the condition of a whole from that of a part, as of the good cooking of rice from tasting one grain.
