Various Indian Ancient text guided the people to lead a virtuous life. They contained rules, societal divisions (e.g. Varna or caste system), etc in order to maintain social order. Ashram system or rule divides the life of a person and corresponding duties according to age into a four fold division. The person must spend his life according to these four stages for satisfaction. Though it is an ancient system but is believed to be developed during post Vedic era (around 3rd or 2nd century BC).
