Re: [INDOLOGY] mīmāṃsā

[Nagaraj Paturi]

Dear Patrick,

> I thought I might find some help here in locating the passages I seek.

By mīmāmsā, if you mean the original book of the darśana on which all the
books known as mīmāmsā books are composed, you do not get any passages as
you sought. The book is in the form of sūtras. .

If you saw a passage as you mentioned, it must be a book interpreting or
discussing the sūtras.

śāstra compelling someone to act in a certain way is a complex issue.
Depending on which sampradāya a person follows, and the varṇa and āśrama to
which one considers oneself belonging, feeling oneself  compelled
by śāstra to follow karmakānḍa varies.

For example, a sannyāsi of advaita or a follower of certain Bhakti
tradition may not feel compelled that way.

You might want to know the complexity of these details.

A list member may guide you to a publication discussing such details.
