माषमुद्द्न्याय -- जै VI. 3 20 The rule is that if a substance prescribed for a sacrifice cannot be had, a similar substance may be used (as पूतीक for सोम mentioned by Śabara on Jai. VI 3. 14), but where a substance is expressly forbidden it cannot be employed as a substitute, even when it is similar to the one prescribed If mudga pulse cannot be had māṣa pulse cannot be used, as Tai S. V. 1. 8. 1 declares māṣa grains to be unfit for sacrifice. Vide मिता. on या II. 126, दायभाग XIII. 16 (in both this nyāya is mentioned), प्राय. तत्त्व p 482, व्यव प्र. p. 555.
