(a)Jnana
(b)Bhakti
(c)Yoga
(d)Karma
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Karma
Purva-Mimamsa is also called Karma-Mimamsa because it teaches that scrupulous performance of Vedic ritual actions (karma) alone leads to dharma and ultimately moksha (liberation). It therefore upholds karma—not jñāna, bhakti or yoga—as the direct means to liberation, making option (d) correct. ([sacred-texts.com](https://sacred-texts.com/hin/dast/dast04.htm?utm_source=openai))
