Ans (d): Karma

According to the Mimamsa system of philosophy, liberation is possible by means of Karma. It was started by Jaimini.

Mimamsa is a Sanskrit word that means “reflection” or “critical investigation” and thus refers to a tradition of contemplation which reflected on the meanings of certain Vedic texts. This tradition was also known as Purva Mimamsa because of its focus on the earlier (Purva) Vedic texts dealing with ritual actions, and similarly as, Karma-Mimamsa, due to its focus on ritual action (karma). It is one of six Vedic “affirming” (Astika) schools of Hinduism. This particular school is known for its philosophical theories on the nature of dharma, based on the hermeneutics of the Vedas, especially the Brahmanas and Saṃhitas. The Mimamsa school was foundational and influential for the Vedantic schools, which were also known as Uttara-Mimansa for their focus on the “later” (Uttara) portions of the Vedas, the Upanishads. While both “earlier” and “later” Mimamsa investigate the aim of human action, they do so with different attitudes towards the necessity of ritual praxis.

The Purva Mimnsa explains the Dharma as a “virtue”, “morality” or “duty”. Dharma is essentially ritualism. There is a great significance of Karma (or action) in attaining Dharma. Mimamsa’s system of Philosophy emphasizes the doctrine of Karma. It says that liberation is possible by means of performing “Karma”.
