SEO India, Here is answer to your question. SEOmoz had already experimented with this and they found out that only the first link counts. Other links are ignored. You can try it yourself on a new domain to verify the fact. You can check the original post at SEOmoz here - Multiple links on same page

Suppose if i have ten links on my blog ( with different anchor text ) on a single page and all of them pointing to my site, would I gain link value from all of them.

Or will Google treat all of them equivalent to one link.
