In Hinduism
MÄ«mÄṃsÄ (school of philosophy)
: Srimatham: MÄ«mÄṃsa: The Study of Hindu Exegesis´¡±èÅ«°ù±¹²¹³Ù²¹ (अपूरà¥à¤µà¤�, “novelty of meaningâ€�) refers to one of the various tools used by authors displaying their skill in the art of writing.—Often a text may introduce a new explanation of a term or a new and expanded development upon a previous theme. Or perhaps a different way of conceptualising the Absolute Brahman.

Mimamsa (मीमांसà¤�, mÄ«mÄṃsÄ) refers to one of the six orthodox Hindu schools of philosophy, emphasizing the nature of dharma and the philosophy of language. The literature in this school is also known for its in-depth study of ritual actions and social duties.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
