Jaiminīyanyāyamālāvistara (Adhyāya 6) (Commentary on Mīmāṃsāsūtra)

"This is a summary of Jaimini’s Pūrvamīmāṃsāsūtra written in verses, accompanied by a prose, explanation by Mādhavācārya. The text contains twelve adhyāyas, further divided into many pādas; each pāda is divided into several adhikaraṇas, and each adhikaraṇa contains Jaimini’s sūtras. This manuscript contains only the sixth adhyāya, discused about Adhikāra, which comprises eight pādas. The first pāda (f. 1b–6a) contains 13 adhikaraṇas; the second pāda (f. 6a–9a) contains 11 adhikaraṇas; the third pāda (f. 9a–14a) contains 18 adhikaraṇas (though originaly the pāda contains 21 adhikaraṇa but this manuscript somehow missed the numbering and a few lines of the verses but it ends with the exact verse which originally the end verse of the 21 adhikaraṇa); the fourth pāda (f. 14a–18b&19a) contains 14 adhikaraṇas; the fifth pāda (f.19a–26b) contains 21 adhikaraṇas; the sixth pāda (f.26b-29a) contains 7 adhikaraṇas; the seventh pāda (f.29a–33b) contains 13 adhikaraṇas; and the eighth pāda (f.33b–35b) contains 9 adhikaraṇas. This text is considered an important source for understanding the foundational Pūrvamīmāṃsāsūtra, the primary text of the Pūrvamīmāṃsā school of philosophy. The author of this commentary, Mādhavācārya—founder of the Dvaita school of Vedānta philosophy—also served as a minister at the court of Bukka, the king of Vijayanagara.
