Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Mimamsa accept the logical and philosophical teachings of the other schools, they insist that salvation can only be attained by acting in accordance with the prescriptions of the Vedas. It says that the essence of the Vedas is dharma. By the execution of dharma one earns merit which leads one to heaven after death. If one does not follow one's dharma or prescribed duties, then one incurs sin and as a consequence suffers in hell.
