Mimamsa
is of great help in understanding the meaning of the Vedic texts.
For this reason many scholars, including those opposed to its
karmamarga, have made a thorough study of it and also written
books on it. Raju Sastri of Mannargudi (Tanjavur district), who
was an outstanding Vedantin, Venkatasubba Sastri of
Tiruvisanallur, Nilamegha Sastri of the same place,
Krsnamacariyar of Rayampettah, Krsnatatacariyar, Cinnasvami
Sastri of Nandakullatur, and so on, were "scholar-lions"
who made a deep study of Mimamsa. Ironically enough,
Tiruvisanallur Ramasubba Sastri was opposed to sacrificial rites. However, though
he was against the srauta karma that is such an important part of
Mimamsa, he was impressed by the theoretical excellence of the
system and was himself recognised as an authority on the subject.
The
Sanskrit College, Mylapore, Madras, has produced outstanding
mimamsakas.
