>From Sri Bhashya of Bhagavad Ramanuja:

The uttara mImAmsa starts as "atAto brahma jignyAsA",
where the atAto is ata ata: - here the first ata is
"then" and the second ata: is "therefore". That is,
the enquiry into Brahman takes place sequentially
after and because the first part (karma kANda) is 
completed. Only after completing the karma kANda,
does one realize the futility of following that 
alone and gets into the enquiry about the Brahman.

Also, the two parts (the pUrva and uttara mImAmsa)
are not two separate texts, but together are to 
be considered as one doctrine. Therefore, one 
cannot ignore the first part and study the second 
part alone.
