The maxim indicates the method of calculation on the

basis of remainder. Suppose ten people (men and

women together) are standing at one place. If it is

This maxim is based on the fact that the rain falls

equally everywhere, whether water accumulates at a

particular place or not. The rain falls with equal quantity

of water at all places. This maxim is also applied to the

functioning of the Almighty. The grace of God is

uniformly bestowed on all beings. But its effects are

seen diversely, owing to the Karmas (past deeds) of the

recepients, as the rain-water, fallen on the fertile land,

helps to germinate the seeds but becomes ineffective

when fallen on the barren land.
