: WikiPedia: Hinduism

The Mimamsa Sutra (written by Rishi Jaimini) is one of the most important ancient Hindu philosophical texts. It forms the basis of Mimamsa, the earliest of the six orthodox schools (darshanas) of Indian philosophy. According to tradition, sage Jaimini was one of the disciples of sage Veda Vyasa, the author of Mahabharata.

The work is divided in to twelve adhyayas (chapters), which are further divided in to sixty padas (sections). The text provides rules for the interpretation of the Vedas and also provides philosophical justifications for the observance of Vedic rituals, by offering meaning and significance of Vedic rituals to attain Moksha.

Commentaries include: Śabara Bhāṣya written by Śābara.

etymology: The Mimamsa Sutra (Sanskrit: मीमांस� सूत्�, Mīmāṃsā Sūtra) or the Purva Mimamsa Sutras (ca. 300-200 BCE[1]).
