As Aryans settle down ,they began to practise agriculture,and villages rose around them. They grew wheat and barley,but keeping cattle was very important for them.They even fought battles over cattle.Cattle were there most valued possessions and a chief form of wealth. A wealthy person was called a gomat. Prayers were performed for increase of their cattle and they were the medium of exchange.
Besides agriculture and cattle rearing,there were carpenters, goldsmiths,blacksmiths,weavers,leather workers and tanners, potters and physicians. Anybody could choose any profession of his choice.
