AIt is an independent source of knowledge
BIt is admitted as a distinct pramana that cannot be brought under anumana or sabda
CBoth of the above ✓ Correct
DNeither of the above
Correct answer: (C) Both of the above — Both statements are true, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Both statements are true, so that is the answer.
★Arthapatti is postulation, made to explain an otherwise inexplicable fact.
★The Mimamsakas treat it as an independent source of knowledge.
★They argue it cannot be reduced to inference or verbal testimony.
★So both descriptions hold together.
★So the answer is both of the above.
