saṃkalpapañcamānāṃ tu āśramāṇāṃ yathāvidhi
iha svargāpavargārthaṃ pravṛttiriha mānuṣe //

Here exist the âśrâmas in their due order in which the five fold desires of men are fulfilled (viz., niṣkâma dharma as well as the four ordinary desires, consisting of dharma, artha, kâma and mokṣa). Here, men engage in activities for the sake of obtaining Heaven and emancipation.—14.
