The Buddha went to one of such āśramas after leaving his home. The āśramas named after gotra-ṛishis in the Rāmāyaṇa were also such institutions, not that the original gotra-ṛishis were supposed to be still living. - [Previous: c42.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c42.3) - [Next: c42.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c42.5) - [Up: c42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c42) ## Cites (1) - [Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.artha.kautilya.2.2) — Kauṭilya, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c42.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c42.4) · Pramāṇa
