It should not be forgotten that the Mīmāṁsā is not concerned with legislation by the king or a sovereign popular assembly. It promises to convey correct knowledge of Dharma (meaning religious rites and matters connected therewith) and the means of arriving at that knowldge is the Veda itself and the main purpose of the Mīmāṁsā is to regulate the procedure (*itikartavyatā*), the various auxiliary and principal matters in Vedic sacrifices.²⁰⁹⁴
