Jaimini is considered as founder of Mimamsa (also known as Poorva Mimamsa) Darsana. Mimamsa is an enquiry into the earlier portion of the Vedas, an enquiry into ritual section of the Vedas or that portion of the Vedas which are concerned with the Mantras and the Brahmanas. It is called '''Poorrva Mimamsa''', because it is earlier (poorva) than the Uttara Mimamsa (Vedanta Darsana), not so much in the chronological as in the logical sense.<ref name=":0">Swami Sivananda, All About Hinduism, Page 225-230 </ref> Mimamsa attaches great importance to [[Brahmana (ब्राह्मणम्)|Brahmanas]], more than tha samhitas (the earlier portion) as well as the later portion (Upanishads).

Jaimini's first aphorism - '''''Atahto Dharma Jignasa''''' states the whole aim and object of his system, viz. a desire to know Dharma or duty, Which consists in the performance of the rites and sacrifices prescribed by the Veda. Dharma itself bestows the rewards. The aim of Purva Mimamsa is to investigate into the the nature of Dharma.<ref name=":0" />
