Detailed explanation-1: -Mimansa divides the entire Veda consisting of Mantra and Brahmana into five types, based on the assumption that the Vedas are self-validating and do not require any external tool for their validation. The five types are Vidhi, Nishedha, Mantra, Namadheya, and Arthavada.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nature and Sources of knowledge Mimamsa admits two kinds of valid knowledge – immediate and mediate. Immediate knowledge arises in the soul when the object is in direct contact with both the internal sense organ (mind) and the external 5 sense organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meaning of Mimamsa Mimamsa is the name of one of the six astika ("orthodox") schools of Hindu philosophy, whose primary inquiry is into the nature of dharma (duty) based on close hermeneutics of the Vedas. Its core tenets are ritualism (orthopraxy), anti-asceticism, and anti-mysticism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Purva Mimamsa is also known as Dharma Mimamsa and Karma Mimamsa; it strongly defends Vedic ritualism. As these names indicate, this philosophy is highly ritualistic at root. It is the most religious of the Darshanas.
