If my memory serves me correctly, Francis Clooney's book "Thinking
Ritually: Rediscovering the Purva Mimamsa of Jaimini (Publications of the
De Nobili Research Library) (Publications of the De Nobili Research Library)
<https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Ritually-Rediscovering-Publications-Research/dp/3900271216/ref=sr_1_30?crid=3DL1AXSOXU2NR&keywords=francis+x.+clooney&qid=1572881305&s=books&sprefix=Clooney%2C+FRancis%2Caps%2C202&sr=1-30>,"
has some discussion of this issue.
