Purva MimAmsam

[Guest guest]

Sri

Srimathe ramanujaya namaha

 

Dear Members,

 

I would like to know if any of the Sri Sampradyam Acharyas have commented upon

the Purva MimAmsam as well as the sutras of Jamini Maharishi on the Purva

MimAmsam (atho dharma jignyAsa). Additional to this, I would like to know if any

of our acharyas have commented on the Rig Veda Samhitam, as well as subsequent

brahmanAs, aranyakAs of the Chaturvedams.

 

Specifically, what does MimAmsa exactly mean? What school was promulgated by

kumArila Bhatta and mandAna mishrA (later to become sureshwara, one of the four

disciples of Adi Shankara and the first peethadhipathi of the Sringeri Sharada

Peetham in Karnataka)?

 

Regards,

 

Malolan Cadambi

Dear Members,

 

This is a foot note from what I was able to dig out from the Archives of the

Bhakti List. This is an excerpt from the essay authored by

U.Ve.N.S.Anantharangachar of Bangalore.

 

" 4. SYNCRETISM (SAMANVAYA) BETWEEN THE TWO MIMAMSAS

AND SYNCRETISM BETWEEN NYAYA AND VEDANTA ETC.

 

Desika's work 'mImAmsA pAdukA' and 'sEshwara

mImAmsA'(incomplete) are devoted to the working of

unity between pUrvamImAmsA and uttaramImAmsA. These

two form one integral text as expounded by RamAnuja.

NyAyaparisuddhi works out syncretism between nyAya

sAstra and vEdAnta. "

Further more, U.Ve.Sadagopan Mama of NY writes in a reply to a query of

Sri.Vidyasankar Sundaresan;

 

" > 1. Sesvaramimasa : Here Swami Desikan's

> focus has been described as the defense of

> Mimaamsa as " Ekasastra " , a single science

> made up of Purvamimaamsa of Jaimini and

> Uttaramimaamsa (Vedaantha), the elaboration

> of Brahma Sutras of Badarayana . The Acharya

> maintains that Purvamimaamsa is in harmony with the

> Bramasutras and not in opposition . Swami continues and

> states that Jaimini acccepted Isvara as the Universal Lord.

> It is not clear that we might find help on the

> question of Sri Vidyasankar from here. "
