| The
five daily sacrifices known as Pancha Yajnas viz, Devayajna or
sacrifice to gods, Pitriyajna or obsequial oblation to the departed
manes, Brahmayajna or study of the Vedas, Nriyajna or serving fellow
beings and Bhutayajna or feeding the dumb creatures, are obligatory
on the householder during this stage. The third stage where in
introspection is very important is only a stepping stone to the
final stage of Sannyasa.
This last stage which is the acme of life
is distinguished by its total renunciation of worldly desires and a
complete dedication to the attainment of Moksha. Every rule has an exception. The
ascent from Brahmacharya to Sannyasa need not always be gradual.
