Plot

A very pointy bully bothers a girl who is building a model spaceship. She designs a larger one and tricks him into thinking that it's a real spaceship. After he gets inside, she moves it to another location, causing him to think that he actually landed on the moon. As a result, he thinks that a nearby cow is an alien.

Upamāṇa, upamana in Indian philosophy, is a pramāṇa, or means of having knowledge of something. Observance of similarities provides knowledge of the relationship between the two. It also means getting the knowledge of an unknown thing by comparing it with a known thing. For example, assume a situation where a man has not seen a gavaya or a wild cow and doesn't know what it is. A forester told him that a wild cow is an animal like a country cow but she is more furious and has big horn in her forehead. In a later period he comes across a wild cow in a forest and recognizes it as the wild cow by comparing the descriptions made by the forester. This knowledge is possible due to the upamana or comparison. Thus, upamana is the knowledge of the relation between a name and the object it denotes by that name.
