The word Mimamsa is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root मनॠto know and its derivative (desiderative) root मिमंस – the desire to know. Mimamsa means critical inquiry or exegesis. Purva Mimamsa (PM) means earlier inquiry. This is in contrast to Uttara Mimamsa or later inquiry. The earlier / later terminology may not necessarily indicate chronology. It may perhaps be regarded as a prerequisite for Uttara Mimamsa. Sage Jaimini, the author of Purva Mimamsa Sutras appears to be a contemporary of Sage Badarayana, the author of Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta Sutras. It appears that they had a teacher-pupil relationship. Purva Mimamsa is also known as Dharma Mimamsa and Karma Mimamsa; it strongly defends Vedic ritualism. As these names indicate, this philosophy is highly ritualistic at root. It is the most religious of the Darshanas. Vedic ritualism was regarded as a stepping stone to knowing the transcendent Brahman. Jaimini Sutras is a work in 12 chapters and the main commentator on the Sutras is Shabaraswamy. However, two schools of Purva Mimamsa developed under Kumarila Bhatta and Prabhakara whose interpretation of Jaimini differs in some aspects.
Purva Mimamsa Epistemology admits Knowledge as being self evident and accepts 6 ways of obtaining it.
