== Poorva Mimansa and Ayurveda ==
The ultimate purushartha described in almost all Bhartiya shastras is the Moksha. Various methods for reaching this goal have been explained in the Shastras. Poorva mimansa is the school of philosophy belonging to Darshana shastras, which believes in the role of actions performed during one’s lifetime. These actions mainly in the form of rituals like Ygyas, yagas performed by an individual are believed to leave some impact on his life. Thus, the proponents of Poorva mimansa believe in engaging human beings in rituals that will help in creating good karma. Performing Yagyas, yagas is called as Karmakanda which is regarded as the mode of achieving moksha by Poorva mimansakas. The basis of advocating such KArmakanda for Moksha prapti is that, Poorva Mimansa Darshana believes in the entity called 'Apurv’ which develops as a consequence of actions performed by an individual in this world and in the current life. It is thus appraised that this school of philosophy also believes the correlated theories like past life, concepts like Pap, Punyakarma (virtuous actions), Hell and heaven.

The main source of authority in regard to Mimamsa is Jaimini's Mimamsa-Sutra. Jaimini does not believe in Moksha. He believes in the existence of Svarga (heaven) attainable through Karma or sacrifice.The Mimamsa Sutras of Jaimini give a detailed description of the different sacrifices and their purposes, the doctrine of '''Apurva''', and also some philosophical propositions.
