Which one of the following pairs does **not** form part of the six systems of Indian Philosophy?

Explicitly states that the Vedas gave rise to several schools of thought and names Vedanta and Yoga among the best known, indicating a recognized set of distinct philosophical schools.

A student could take this pattern (Vedic origin → named schools) and look for other canonical lists that group such schools (e.g., lists of classical darshanas) to see if Mimamsa and Vedanta appear together.

Mentions that theosophical inspiration was drawn from multiple specific schools — the Upanishads, Samkhya, Yoga and Vedanta — showing that Vedanta is treated as one distinct, named school alongside others.

One could compare this set of named schools to standard enumerations of Indian philosophical systems to check whether Mimamsa is similarly listed among them.

Describes Lokayata/Carvaka as an identified, named philosophical school with specific doctrines, illustrating the practice of naming and classifying Indian philosophical systems.

Given that named schools like Carvaka and Vedanta exist, a student could search for canonical classifications (e.g., lists of darshanas) to see which named schools are grouped into 'six systems.'

Explains that the Upanishads were referred to as Vedanta (the end of the Vedas), linking Vedanta explicitly to a textual/philosophical tradition and implying it is a distinct school.

From Vedanta's clear distinct identity here, a student might consult standard outlines of classical Indian philosophy to verify whether Vedanta and Mimamsa are included among the principal schools.

Describes Sankara's Advaita as rooted in Vedanta and portrays Vedanta as a major doctrinal tradition engaged in debates with other sects, reinforcing Vedanta's status as a principal school.

A student can use this confirmation of Vedanta's centrality to compare with lists of the Shad-darshanas to test whether Mimamsa is paired with Vedanta in that canonical grouping.
