If boiled rice is destroyed or not available and \*nīvāra\* grains are substituted, there is no ūha as 'nīvārāṇām medha' but the words 'vrīhīṇām medha' are to be retained (PMS IX. 3. 23-26), because, as stated in PMS VI. 3. 27 (sāmānyam tac-cikīrṣā hi), nīvāras are substituted on account of the similarity of parts of boiled \*nīvāras\* with the parts of rice grains. - [Previous: v7.c93.592](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.592) - [Next: v7.c93.594](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.594) - [Up: v7.c93](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93) ## Cites (1) - [Mīmāṃsāsūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra.9.3.23) — Jaimini, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.593](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.593) · Pramāṇa
