The school of Mimamsa mainly focused upon the studies of sacrifices and the related rules of the rituals of Brahmanism. Ancient Indians prized Vedic literature such as *Brahmana* and specialised in various practices in sacrifice. Such researchers gradually formed a school known as Pūrva Mīmāṃsā (“prior” inquiry), or Karma-Mīmāṃsā. It was later called Mimamsa for short.
