Abstract

According to early medieval literature there are four main aims of life to live a complete life. These four aims are called Purusarthas-Dharma, Artha, Kam and Moksha; which means the main elements required to fulfill the human existence. In Purusartha the trivarga-Dharma, Artha and Kam were admitted to the basis of the social order with dharma as a controlling element of social values and a person by following the path of trivarga could move towards the goal of moksha. Hence the Purusartha system was relevant in the early medieval north Indian society with some changes.
