Kumarila Bhatta, a key figure in the Mimamsa school of Hindu philosophy, emphasizes the Veda's focus on prescriptive or injunctive sentences (vidhi), which are commands or injunctions for performing rituals. He distinguishes between statements of fact (existential propositions) and prescriptive statements (injunctive propositions), arguing that the Veda's authority lies in the latter, specifically in guiding individuals on dharma through vidhayaka vakya (injunctive sentences).
