Solution : The correct option is Parmarth.
During the period when Jainism and Buddhism gained popularity, Brahmins introduced the system of ashramas, referring to stages of life. This system outlined four phases: Brahmacharya, grhastha, vanaprastha, and sannyasa. Brahmin, Kshatriya and vaishya men were encouraged to lead simple lives devoted to Vedic studies in their early years (brahmacharya), then transition to married life as householders (grhastha).
