Philosophy of Purva Mimamsa

            At a time when all this (earth, water, etc.,) did not exist, what could have been the condition of the universe? As for Prajapati himself, what could be his position? And what his form? .
             58. Even if He were known in form, the fact of His being the Creator could never be known. Because at that time what could the living beings, appearing at the beginning of creation, understand? .
             62. For, if the Veda existed before the objects (creator), then there can be no connection between this (Veda) and the objects created. Therefore the passages (occurring in the Veda) (which appear to describe the process of creation) must be interpreted as praising up something else. .
             There have been various theories that have been put forward to try and explain how creation took place. Some of these theories have been refuted and assertions made about the superiority of Buddha. This might be the reason that Buddhist philosophers divulged deep into this subject and sought to dialectically establish the concept of the non creation of the world. It can be argued that the Buddhist argument is the product of constant interaction as well as the debate with other Indian religions. It is lucid that the non creation of the world is one of the pivotal topics for most schools of philosophical thought.
             The text in the beginning presents the query as to whether or not God is the creator of the world, line 45 tries to raise the point about how the world was when the earth, water and other physical substances did not exist. The question tend to find out how the circumstance of the universe was at the time, what was God's position and even further what was his form at the time. These questions launch the perfect pad to the argument because they question the form and position of God before mankind was even created. Line 62, argues that if the Veda is said to have existed before objects were created, then this consequently means that there is no connection between this Veda and the objects that are created.
