By the very reason that they are an authoritative means of knowledge, by that very reason they are entitled to authoritativeness as restricted \[to certain regions\]. Therefore, Holākā and other rites are to be performed only by Easterners; Āhnīnaibuka and others only by Southerners; Udvṛṣabhayajña and others only by Northerners. Just as the rule of tufts of hair is restricted—some have three tufts, some have five tufts. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 100.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra!sabara.100.1) - [Next: 100.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra!sabara.100.3) - [Up: 100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra!sabara.100) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra!sabara~en-mt.100.2) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Mīmāṃsāsūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra.1.3.15) — Jaimini, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra!sabara.100.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra!sabara.100.2) · Pramāṇa
