Later writers could not digest all these ideas about the deities in sacrifices. Veṅkaṭanātha (or Veṅkaṭadeśika, 1269-1369 A. D) composed a work called 'Seśvaramīmāṁsā', in which he criticizes both Bhāṭṭa and Prābhākara schools and being an ardent Vaiṣṇava of the Rāmānuja school attempts a synthesis of the two mīmāṁsās and brings in the idea of God as the dispenser of the reward of sacrifices against the combined testimony of Śabara, Kumārila, Śālikanātha and others. Vide Dr. Radhakrishnan in 'Indian Philosophy,' vol. II pp. 424-429 for 'God and world according to Pūrvamīmāṁsā'.
