Studies on Bhartṛhari, 9: Vākyapadīya 2.119 and the Early History of Mīmāṃsā

Studies on Bhartṛhari, 9: Vākyapadīya 2.119 and the Early History of Mīmāṃsā This article argues that in early Mīmāṃsā the view was current that there are objects in the world corresponding to all words of the Sanskrit language.

Abstract

This article argues that in early Mīmāṃsā the view was current that there are objects in the world corresponding to all words of the Sanskrit language. Evidence to that effect is primarily found in passages from Bhartṛhari’s works, and in some classical Nyāya texts. Interestingly, Śabara’s classical work on Mīmāṃsā has abandoned this position, apparently for an entirely non-philosophical reason: the distaste felt for the newly arising group of Brahmanical temple-priests.
