ExplanationMimamsa system of philosophy is one of the 6 schools of orthodox Indian philosophy.It was started by Jaimini.In the Mimamsa system of philosophy, liberation (moksha) is primarily achieved through the performance of proper rituals (karma), which align with the Vedic prescriptions.Mimamsa emphasizes that correct action, particularly ritualistic duties (such as yajnas), leads to purification of the self and ultimately liberation.By doing so, an individual can attain liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara) and achieve the highest good, which is initially seen as heavenly bliss and later as freedom from bodily bondage.While Jnana (knowledge) and Yoga are central to other philosophies like Vedanta and Sankhya, Mimamsa focuses on Karma as the means to attain liberation.99
