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 Purva 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>
