[Advaita-l] A Brief Introduction to pUrva mImAmsA - 8 (apauruSheya ?)

[Ravi Parimi]

I think apaurSheya means not coming from a person. It is believed that
the vedas have not been given to mankind by any one person and hence
they are called apaurSheya. More knowledgeable people on the list may
be able to answer this better.

Regards,
