Question

2. Describe the varnashrama or the division of life in the later vedic period.
​

Answer 1

The Varna system mingled with the four Ashramas of one's life on the path of dharma becomes the Varnashrama Dharma. In Hindu society this dharma was divided into four different groups of people who pursued four different dharmas in their life to attain the ultimate goal of their life, i.e. realisation of god.
