[INDOLOGY] Purva Mimansha

[Kiyotaka Yoshimizu]

To my knowledge, the term “codanā” in the Mīmāṃsāsūtra refers to the 
fundamental injunction (literally, compelling injunction) among a lot of 
injunctions (vidhi-s) of a sacrifice. It prompts one to perform the 
sacrifice making one know the originality/novelty (apūrva), that is, the 
unique form (rūpa) of the sacrifice that consists of the combination of 
oblation and deity.

See my paper “Change of View on Apūrva from Śabarasvāmin to Kumārila.” 
S. Mayeda (ed.): The Way to Liberation, Indological Studies in Japan, 
Japanese Studies on South Asia No. 3, New Delhi, 2000, 149‒165, p.150, 
notes 1−5, and 16, in:
