Some of this passed down to us in the form of brief pronouncements called sutras, which were presumably meant for memorization and were not always independently intelligible. These sutras in turn generated explanatory commentaries, and commentaries upon commentaries. The basic sutras of what came to be the Purva Mimamsa system were known as the Mimamsa sutras or Purvamimamsasutras (Purva' since another set of literature expounding a different understanding of ultimate things came to be recognized also as Mimamsa, specifically \"Uttara\" or later Mimamsa.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003eInitially the Purva Mimamsa had no special recognition of the subject matter of philosophy as understood in these volumes of our Encyclopedia, and would not warrant treatment as Indian philosophy. But as Indian philosophy in other systems developed ideas concerning the assumptions of rebirth, transmigration, and the possibility of attainment of final liberation, Purva Mimamsa also developed a philosophical system in response, beginning with further commentaries on their sutras and proceeding on to independent works, comprising a collection of texts which constitutes the 'philosophy being studied in the present Volume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp align=\"center\" class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align:center\"\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003eKARL \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003eH. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003ePOTTER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003eis Professor of philosophy and South Asian Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle, and is the General Editor of the Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies series containing 28 volumes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:13.0pt\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965b.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965c.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965d.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965e.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965f.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965g.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965h.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965i.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965j.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books\/naj965k.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cfont size=\"5\" color=\"red\"\u003eSample Pages\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2016\/naj965m.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Occultnthings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44646473793837,"sku":"NAJ965","price":64.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2094\/2117\/products\/naj965.jpg?v=1677936411","url":"https:\/\/occultnthings.com\/pt\/products\/encyclopedia-of-indian-philosophies-philosophy-of-purva-mimamsa-volume-xvi-naj965","provider":"Occult-N-Things","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
