Purva-Mimamsa in its Sources c32.2

c32.2

This closes our study of the first Six Discourses of the Sūtra; which, as explained by the Bhāṣya (Trs., p. 1229), have discussed the procedure of the Darsha-Pūrṇamāsa and other Sacrifices, the details of which have been directly prescribed in the Veda, while the later Six Discourses discuss the procedure of the Aindrāgna and such other Sacrifices, the details of whose procedure have not been directly enjoined. Kumārila however, puts the matter somewhat differently:—In the first Six Discourses we have discussed the *direct Injunctions* bearing upon the Archetypal as well as Ectypal Sacrifices, and with the Seventh Discourse begins the discussion of the *Transference* or Extended Application, by *indirect implication*, of details from the sphere of one Sacrifice to that of another.
