Correct Answer: Purva Mimamsa


Solution : The correct answer is Purva Mimamsa .

Purva Mimamsa Sutras, authored by Rishi Jaimini, formed the foundation of Mimamsa philosophy. Jaimini, a disciple of Veda Vyasa, divided the text into 12 chapters and 60 sections.

The Vedangas, six auxiliary disciplines in Hinduism, are linked to the study of the Vedas. Kalpa, denoting "proper" or "fit" is one of the Vedangas. Nirukta, another Vedanga, focuses on etymology. Shiksha, meaning "instruction" is a Vedanga related to phonetics and phonology in Vedic studies. Together, these disciplines enrich the understanding of Hindu scriptures.
