Four Professions

Dharmaja! Parasara, explained the Varna Ashrama Dharmas:

For a Brahmin, meditation itself is Yajna. Studying vedas is his livelihood. Tapas brings glory to Brahmin.
For Kshatriya, Ruling the Kingdom is his duty. Performing Yajnas, punishing wrong doers, protecting law abiding citizens and maintaining peace and tranquility are his foremost duties.
Supplying all kinds of commodities to Yajna is Vysya’s duty. His main profession is trade and commerce and entertaining guests.
Serving the above three castes is the livelihood of Sudra. It is equivalent to performing Yajna by Sudra. All the above Dharmas are to be followed by one and all scrupulously.
Sages and saints are to be worshipped by all castes.
