Varṇāśramadharma
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Varṇāśramadharma literally means ‘duties of varṇas and āśramas'.
In the ancient, medieval scriptures and religious treatises, the word ‘dharma’ is generally interpreted as varṇa-āśrama-dharma, duties and responsibilities of the various varṇas and āśramas.
