Significado
Judging the whole by a part.
Contexto cultural
Rice is a staple in coastal (Konkan) and western Maharashtra. The precision of cooking rice is a point of pride. The concept of 'Ansh' (part) and 'Anshi' (whole) is prevalent. It is believed that the divine exists in every small part. Famous authors like P.L. Deshpande often used such proverbs to add a touch of 'common man's wisdom' to their humor. In traditional markets (Mandis), this proverb is the law. One sack of grain is judged by a handful.
