Mimamsaka

Mimamsaka (wyl. dpyod pa ba) - An eternalist tradition of ancient India. The Mimamsaka, or Analysts, are followers of Jaimini. Their school is based on an explanation of the Vedas. They say that only the Vedas are valid, and they practise sacrifice as taught in the Vedas. The Padmakara Translation Group says there were two distinct systems of this name, both basing themselves on the interpretation of the Vedic texts.
