The Pūrva-mīmāmsakas believe in which one of the following ?
Answer: B
The Mīmāṃsakas hold svataḥ prāmāṇyavāda and parataḥ aprāmāṇyavāda.
For the Pūrva-Mīmāṃsā, a cognition is valid by itself: the conditions that produce knowledge also make it valid, and we accept it at once. Invalidity is known from outside, when a later contradicting cognition or a defect in the cause is discovered. This underpins their view that the Veda is self-valid.
Nyāya holds both validity and invalidity to be extrinsic (parataḥ). Sāṃkhya holds both intrinsic, and the Buddhists are usually said to hold invalidity intrinsic and validity extrinsic, the reverse of the Mīmāṃsā.
