The four aims of life | Arthashastra



धर्मार्थकाममोक्षेषु यस्यैकोऽपि न विद्यते।

जन्म जन्मानि मत्र्येषु मरणं तस्य केवलम् ।।


Dharmaarthakaamamoksheshu Yassyai Koapi Na Vidhyate |

Jannma Jannmaani Mattyershu Maranam Tassya Kevalam ||


That man who fails to achieve even one of the four aims of life, viz. Dharma (faith in his belief), Artha (riches which provide meaning to life), Kaam (Fulfilment of the desires), and Moksha (satiation of all wants) is verily born only for dying (as his life is just a waste)
