[Advaita-l] ’atiraatram' - a Vedic ritual coming up in Kerala

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

Yes. This is a case of contradictory injunctions concerning 'shodasi'.
It is resolved by Purva Mimamsa by saying that in such case taking
'Shodasi' is optional.

Purva Mimamsa does not answer the question " Why there should be
contradictory injunctions at all?".

regards,
Sarma.
