In Hinduism
Mīmāṃsā (school of philosophy)
Tātparya (तात्पर्य, “purport”) is the meaning of words leading to valid knowledge. The fundamental or basic meaning (mukhya artha) of a sentence, passage, chapter or an entire book is what may be called its purport (tātparya). In a sentence the words all have literal semantic meaning. When these words are compiled into a sentence they then produce a combined meaning based on the interrelationship of the individual words in the sentence (syntax) this is called the purport.
When two or more sentences form a unitary passage, several sentences a chapter, and a number of chapters a book, while each sentence has its own meaning in itself, by correlating the sentences correctly, the purport of the passage is understood. Then by correctly correlating the passages of a chapter the purport of the chapter is understood, and then through correlation of the chapters the purport of the book as a whole may be obtained.
There are six criteria (ṣaḍ-liṅga) which must be born in mind when looking for the purport of a text:—
- upakrama-upasaṃhāra, Unity of the initial and concluding passages
- abhyāsa, Recurrence of the theme
- apūrvata, Any new conclusion discovered
- upapatti, The general consistency throughout
- arthavāda, The commendation or criticism of specific matters
- phala, Alleged results
Mimamsa (मीमांसा, mīmāṃsā) refers to one of the six orthodox Hindu schools of philosophy, emphasizing the nature of dharma and the philosophy of language. The literature in this school is also known for its in-depth study of ritual actions and social duties.
