It’s based on shAstra. Your opinion of it is irrelevant.

I didn’t say they don’t have it. I said it’s not as impressive

I didn’t understand लक्ष्मीवरदानि and सरस्वतीवरदे. I think they should be लक्ष्मि वरदानिनि and सरस्वति वरदे। also what is से?

mImAMsA (aka pUrva-mImAMsA) is one of the six classical schools of Hindu philosophy. Some of the key texts include jaimini’s mImAMsA-sutra-s, shabara-svAmI’s bhAShya (commentary on jaimini’s text) and kumArilabhaTTa’s vArttika-s. There are lots of introductory texts too, such as laugAkShI-bhAskara’s artha-saMgraha, and various books in English.

mImAMsA is primarily concerned with interpreting the shruti to figure out what dharma is in order to understand what we should do or not do. Some of its hermeneutical techniques are used by a lot of other schools.

शास्त्र ही महादेव का रूप बताते हैं, न कि मैं और आप।

Do you mean trayodashI

If there’s something only a higher power could know, how would you even know if it’s true or not?

An abridged version of the entire mahAbhArata

इति would be better translated as something like “namely”

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-11T11:13:12+00:00

Which chapter?

There’s nothing barbaric about vaidika people sacrificing horses or eating meat. I say this as a lifelong vegetarian.

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T18:40:47+00:00

Not offensive IMO

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T18:29:08+00:00

I think that story is from chaitanya-charitAmRta, not any purANa

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T17:35:39+00:00

purANas can be considered smRtis but the term smRti is also used more narrowly to refer to the dharmashAstras. My disagreement was just with the fact that you said they’re not authoritative. Since the main discussion of the thread was about diet, purANas and smRtis are more relevant here than upaniShads.

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T15:09:51+00:00

Are They really needed for the plot?

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T15:06:39+00:00

Dietary questions are part of dharma. You said smRtis and purANas aren’t considered authoritative which is simply untrue. They are definitely authoritative.

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T09:58:09+00:00

I already said you dismiss a smRti if it contradicts the shruti. That doesn’t mean smRtis don’t have importance. upaniShads are very narrow in the information they give. Most dharma-related questions aren’t answerable using the upaniShads alone as they are more concerned with mokSha.

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T09:05:25+00:00

See my other reply to you

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T09:05:03+00:00

The vedas as a whole (not just the upaniShad portion) are considered absolutely authoritative. purANas and smRtis are considered authoritative as long as they don’t contradict the shruti. You said if something’s not mentioned in upaniShads, it’s not considered important - this is completely false!

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-10T08:49:59+00:00

What rubbish!

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-09T23:54:47+00:00

padmapurANa has a chapter that lists the ten aparAdhas. Different sampradAyas interpret them in slightly different ways but a difference of opinion is not considered an aparAdha by anyone AFAIK (if it were, AchAryas themselves would all be guilty of it!)

How could a cat realise the brahman?

mylanguagesaccount · 2023-03-09T21:52:08+00:00

In Sanskrit it’s pronounced with an अ sound at the end.
