Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 *Om mahaganapataye namah* Dear Tarun, You are nearly right.If we desire to put little more accurately Rsi parashar followed well known pattern of Purans.What Jaimini knew was already known to all in there parampara Parashar was no exception,But there composition were aimed at blessing the masses and students respectively, in two different modes at different times. Sutra literature has different format.Parashar did not use it.Padma puran gives definition what is sutra literature. " people , learned in sutra literature,say that the sutra should be concise and unambiguous,give the essence of the argument on a topic but at the same time deal with all aspects of the question,be free from repetition and faultless. Jaimini updesh is superb to this definition. with regards. OM TAT SAT ---------------------- R.C.Srivastava -- Oh Creator Of The Universe ! We meditate upon thy radiant power that illuminate our intellects, destroy our sins, and guide us in the right direction.
