• Tantra Rahasya by Ramanujacharya is a primer of the Prabhakara system of Purva Mimamsa philosophy.
• It mainly illustrates the five important topics of the Prabhakara system: Pramana (Epistemology), Prameya (Objects of Knowledge), Sastra (Scripture), Sastrartha (Interpretation of Scripture), and Mimamsa (exegesis), emphasizing their necessity.
• The work clearly states the viewpoints of the Prabhakara school on epistemology, metaphysics, verbal testimony of Vedic and non-Vedic sentences, the meaning expressed by Sastra or Vedic injunctions, and the necessity of Mimamsa Sastra for discussing Dharma from Vedic passages.
• Ramanujacharya, a learned scholar from the Godavari district, provides an extensive commentary on Jaimini’s Mimamsa Sutras.
• The book is divided into five chapters explaining the theory of knowledge as propounded by his guru, the category of knowable objects, the authority of the Vedas and ethics, the stature of Sastra, and the necessity of expounding Sastra.
• This edition is based on manuscripts from the Oriental Library in Mysore.
