mImAmsaka-s

  • “No argument - just take it as an axiom.” (svataḥprāmāṇya) [Jayanta-KK12]

“Mīmāṃsakas divide in fact what can be known into two precincts, on the one hand common experience, which encompasses what can be known through sense-perception and the other instruments of knowledge (inference, analogy and cogent evidence, to which Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṃsā authors add absence), which ultimately depend on perceptual data. On the other hand there is dharma, which cannot be known through sense-perception and for which, therefore, the Veda is the only instrument of knowledge. Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṃsā authors also claim that all cognitions, qua cognitions, are in themselves valid, unless and until a subsequent cognition invalidates them (the theory is called svataḥ prāmāṇya).”

“Authors” are reliable. If some “dRShTArtha” claims (eg. statements made in jyotiH shAstra regarding grahaNa or some Ayurvedic mantra) by the same sage are verifiable, so are other “adRShTArtha” claims,
