Abstract

Numerous scriptures have been found that have been crucial to understanding the Hindu texts. These texts included the complex procedures for determining the true meaning of terms and expressions found in the Vedas and Puranic texts. The Mimansa is the most significant scripture among all others that contained the guidelines for this kind of interpretation. Hindu civilization and culture developed complex norms of interpretation even in their earliest days. Smrities were interpreted according to the guidelines provided by "Jaimini," the author of the Mimamsat Sutras, which were first intended for srutis.

This article deals with the various axioms and scientific nature of interpretation, how it differs from maxwell’s interpretation and how it applied in current scenario.
