=== Mīmaṃsã (Realist position) === Like the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika school, [[Mīmāṃsā|Mīmaṃsã]] characterizes universals as referents for words. The fundamental difference between Bhāṭṭa Mīmaṃsā's and Nyāya is that Bhāṭṭa Mīmaṃsa rejects the Nyāya understanding of the universals' relation of inherence to the particulars.<ref name="Perrett 135"/> The Hindu philosopher [[Kumārila Bhaṭṭa]] argues that if inherence is different from the terms of the relation, it would continuously require another common relation, and if the inherence is non-different, it would be superfluous.<ref name="Perrett 135"/>
