<h1>Ancient Gunapradhan Axiom allows courts to prioritize main statutory purposes over conflicting subordinate provisions</h1> The Mimansa Rules of Interpretation are traditional Indian principles established by Jaimini in the 5th century B.C., used for over 2500 years before Maxwell's principles. The Gunapradhan Axiom, a key Mimansa principle, states that when subordinate ideas clash with principal ideas, the subordinate must be adjusted or disregarded. This follows the 'matsya nyaya' maxim where the bigger fish eats the smaller fish. The axiom prioritizes primary purposes over accessory elements, allowing substitution when prescribed materials conflict with the main ceremonial objective. Courts can appropriately use these rational principles alongside Maxwell's rules for statutory interpretation.
