1.3.30

मध्वादिष्वसंभवादनधिकारं जैमिनिः

madhvādiṣv asaṃbhavād anadhikāraṃ jaiminiḥ

The line

Jaimini says there is no eligibility in the honey-teaching and the rest, because it is impossible.

नेपालीमा

जैमिनि भन्छन्, मधुको शिक्षा र बाँकीमा अधिकार छैन, किनकि त्यो असम्भव छ।

Where it sits

This restricts the eligibility Bādarāyaṇa (बादरायण) affirmed at 1.3.25. It is Jaimini's view. The locative madhu-ādiṣu (मधु-आदिषु) names the teachings he withdraws, not all knowledge. Śaṅkara (शङ्कर), Rāmānuja (रामानुज), and Madhva do not adopt this restriction as the final word. Bādarāyaṇa (बादरायण)'s reply is at 1.3.32.

Split: madhu-ādiṣu (मधु-आदिषु) + asaṃbhavāt (असंभवात्) + anadhikāram (अनधिकारम्) + jaiminiḥ (जैमिनिः)

Sanskrit, in depth

The words

Word	Grammar	Sense
madhu-ādiṣu (मधु-आदिषु)	locative plural, neuter	in the honey-teaching and the rest
asaṃbhavāt (असंभवात्)	ablative singular, masculine	because of impossibility
anadhikāram (अनधिकारम्)	accusative singular, masculine	non-eligibility
jaiminiḥ (जैमिनिः)	nominative singular, masculine	Jaimini

The phrases

madhu is the Chāndogya (छान्दोग्य) honey: the sun as the honey of the gods, the Vasus and the rest as the bees, the rays as the cells. ādi (आदि) takes in similar meditations where the gods are the content, not the students.

Jaimini says anadhikāra (अनधिकार), no eligibility, for the gods in those teachings. asaṃbhava (असंभव): the sun cannot meditate on the sun as his own honey in the way the text prescribes for a student. The gods are what one meditates on. They are not the meditators of that vidyā (विद्या). anadhikāram (अनधिकारम्) is the accusative of what he maintains.

Sanskrit in this line

madhu-ādiṣu (मधु-आदिषु) is locative plural. anadhikāra (अनधिकार) is masculine, accusative -am, the thesis-object. The verb of saying is understood.

Say it back

Say which teachings Jaimini excludes, and why: the god would be meditating on himself as the honey.

1.3.31. Jaimini's further reason: the meditation is a becoming of the light.
