Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Jaimini was the founder of the Purva Mimamsa school of Indian philosophy, which focuses on the interpretation of the Vedas, especially the ritualistic sections.

According to Jaimini, Pramana (means of valid knowledge) are tools to obtain true knowledge.

He accepts the following pramanas:

1. Pratyaksa (Perception): Direct sensory experience is accepted as a valid source of knowledge.

2. Anumana (Inference): Logical reasoning based on observed data is considered valid.

3. Sabda (Verbal testimony): Particularly the authority of the Vedas, is the most important source of knowledge in Mimamsa philosophy.

Upamana (Comparison) is not accepted by Jaimini as an independent pramana.

Therefore, Jaimini accepts Pratyaksa, Anumana, and Sabda as valid pramanas.
