lines on which the Mimansa writers proceed in dealing
with these topics.
The Mimansakas examine the subject of negative
Vidius very searchingly and exhaustively. First of all,
they distinguish between what may be called pro-
hibitions against all the, world and those against
particular persons. This distinction 'resembles that
between judgments or rights in rein and judgments or
rights in personam. The former1 prohibitions are
called Pratishedha, and the latter Paryudasa. -For
example, the prohibitory clause 'Do hot eat fermented
food’ is a Pratishedha ; while the prohibition 'those
who have taken the Prajapati vow must not see the
rising sun’ is a Paryudasa. In the second place,
Pratishedhas are divided practically into two sub-
classes viz., those which prohibit a thing without any
reference to the manner in which it may be used, and
those which prohibit it only as regards a particular
mode of using it. For instance, 'Do not eat fer-
mented food’ prohibits the use of it under all circums-
tances, while 'Do not use the Sorasi vessel at dead
of night’ forbids the use of the vessel only at the dead
of night.
Then Paryudasa is also of two kinds. In one case,
it relates to a person performing some specified act which
is not enjoined by a Vidhi, as in the case of the
Prajapati vow. 'in the other, it relates to a person
engaged in performing a Vidhi; as for instance, when one
is to do Sradh during the full moon by virtue of a
Vidhi but not in the night of the full moon. In this
case, the prohibition of doing Sradh in the night is a
Paryudasa, which is the same as' an exception or
