There may be many different kinds of trees in a garden.

But if there are some mango trees and these too in

large number, the garden is known as a Mango grove,

as the prominent things determine the nature of any

collection.

आम्राश्च सिक्ताः पितरश्च तृप्ताः ।

एकां क्रिया द्वयर्थकरी प्रसिद्धा ॥
 

--पालञ्जल महाभाष्य I.1.1.

 
This maxim refers to the advantages by doing one

work. If one offers water to the manes near a mango

tree and offers 'Tiläānjali', two purposes are served.

The mango tree gets water and the ancestors also are

satisfied. It is like killing two birds with one stone.

This maxim hints at a legend.
 

- -महाभाष्य II.1.45; सा० 71
 

 
Once a man asked another person to describe a mango

tree and where he could see that tree. But the other

man instead of describing a mango tree, gave description

of a 'Kovidāra' tree. The answer of this man created

confusion in the mind of a person who asked him the

question. This maxim suggests the irrelevant answers

which create confusion in the mind of the person who

puts the question.
