About the Book

The Veda, as per the commentary of Sayana, is the superhuman means to know the way of attaining the desired result and alleviating the undesired one. The incantations of the Veda are of diverse import. In course of time, the meaning of the Vedic incantations became unintelligible due to various reasons and commentaries were required to explain the meaning. Mimamsa is the sastra developed in India as an aid to understand the meaning of the Veda. It gives various principles in twelve chapters for the interpretation of the Vedic incantations. Its main focus is of course on the performance of the rituals.

The principles of interpretations became very important in course of time that the later writers on Dharmasastra and other sastra too resorted to them for drawing conclusion in their sastra. M.M.P.V. Kane gave a description of them in his History of Dharmasastra. Shri Sarkar and other also wrote books on this subject. The present book by Dr. Limaye is a book on the influence of Mimamsa rules of interpretation on popular commentaries of Dharmasastra. It explains how the commentators on Dharmasastra were influenced by the rules of interpretation of Mimansa sastra.
