वैदिक-कर्म-केन्द्रिता
pUrvamImAMsaka-s who ignore jNAna-kANDa of vedas and non-vedic texts.
Likes:
- their regard for the “eternal” veda-s fits in nicely with viewing them as dharma-manuals for human beings to abide by Rta (the divine order). they reconcile respectability of the smRti-s as being derived from lost veda-s.
- their arthavAda concept, which reduces the tales the (“eternal”) veda-s spin (and unrealistic injunctions) to praises or condemnation of dhArmika action. This is important and more widely applicable.
- they appeal to unconscious apurva-s (rather than Ishvara) to deliver fruits of dhArmika actions (esp. yajJNa). since it does not need a creator God.
Dislikes
- Text centrism
