General definition (in Hinduism)
: Hindupedia: The Hindu EncyclopediaP奴rva M墨m膩msa deals extensively with the philosophy of yaj帽a, how to understand the mantra and brahmana portions, and their application in sacrifice. This is also called Karma M墨m膩msa. The text expounding Karma M墨m膩msa is Jaimini's M墨m膩msa S奴tras. This is divided into 12 chapters, called lak峁峁嚹乻. It is primarily an inquiry into the Brahmana portion of the Veda and deals with various sacrifices, their purposes and methods. The authentic commentary on P奴rva M墨m膩msa is 艢膩bara Bh膩shya. In turn, Kum膩rila Bha峁弓a's Tantra V膩rtika is a commentary of 艢膩bara Bh膩峁a.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
