The Relationship Between Vedic Texts and the Role of Sutra Texts

This chapter explores the connection between earlier Vedic texts and later Vedic texts, including the Upanishads, and delves into the significance of sutra texts in Mimamsa and Vedanta. It discusses the challenges of interpretation and the presence of intervening debates in commentaries, while questioning the distinction between Mimamsa and Vedanta as well as the categorization of Vedanta texts as theological rather than philosophical.
