Shri Hiriyanna differs from above conclusions. He maintains that Mimamsa is more than a critical commentary on [[Brahmana (ब्राह्मणम्)|Brahmanas]]. Mimamsa doctrine exhibits an important change viz. the subordination of the idea of sacrifice itself to that of the attainment of Moksa. This important change might have been brought about by the later Mimaskas, to bring this philosophy in line with other systems of thoughts and not let it remain a mere liturgical discussion focusing only on rites. <ref name=":1" />

Shri Hiriyanna writes:"The spirit of the Brahmanas was to supersede the simple nature worship of the Samhitas, '''The spirit of the fully developed Mimamsa is to supersede ritualism as taught in [[Brahmana (ब्राह्मणम्)|Brahmanas]]''' and later systematized in Srouta Sutras. But the supersession in neither stage is complete and so Mimamsa is now known as as an admixture of the rational and dogmatic, the natural and the supernatural and the heterodox and the orthodox.

Jaimini systematised the rules of Mimamsa and established their validity in his work. The rules of Mimamsa are very important for the interpretation of the Hindu Law. 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. There are twelve chapters in total.<ref name=":0" />
