Also, the Grhasthus (householders) are of four kinds. These are Varttaka-vitti, Šalina-vitti (modesty), Yayavaras and the Ghora-samnyasikas. Those are Värttaka-vitts (living on agriculture) who engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry and the business permitted under the prevalent law of the country and do the worship of Soul by organising the offerings upto hundred years of their life. Salina-vritis (living a modest life) are they, who arrange offering the messiness, but they do not offer on behalf of others. They study but doesn't teach others. They provide others with gift but doesn't receive any. Thus, they worship the soul engaging themselves in offering upto hundred years. Yayavaras (having no fixed abode) are the couple who do offering and make others to do the same. They read and make others to read. They get and give the gifts. Thus, they worship the soul by performing sacrificial acts upto hundred years. The Ghora-samnyasins are they who perform their acts taking the pure water only, survive on the grains fallen on the ground picked up every day. Thus, they worship the soul by performing the offerings upto hundred years.
