A gunavākya (clause laying down a subsidiary matter) is not to bs taken as subsidiary to another gunavākya, as both are subsidiary to the main purpose and are of equal status. There are two rites viz. Agnyādhcya and Pavamāna offerings and it is stated that one of these is subordinate to the other Both subserve the same purpose, viz. being employed in Darśapūrnamāsa and other sacrifices. A Vedic text states that vessels made of Varana and Vaikankata wood are fit for sacrifices, but a vessel of Varana wood is not to be used for homa while one of Vaikankata may be used. Both classes of vessels are subsidiary to sacrifices, but the text about not using Varana vessel in homa is of a general character. Therefore, one of the two clauses is not subordinate to the other. Hence Vaikankata vessels are to be used in yāgas in which homa is requisite, but Varana vessels are not to be used in such yāgas. - [Previous: v7.c93.s1.124](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.s1.124) - [Next: v7.c93.s1.126](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.s1.126) - [Up: v7.c93.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.s1) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mīmāṃsāsūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.mimamsa.mimamsasutra.3.1.22) — Jaimini, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.s1.125](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.s1.125) · Pramāṇa
