Pronunciation Word Root This is a Sanskrit word. The Sanskrit meaning of "Gruha" is house. And the word Grihasthya symbolises a person who runs a house. Usage This word is generally used to denote a particular phase of life( next 40 years after Brahmacharya ). This is the phase of life in which a man gets married and settles down in life and begets children. It is the second in the four phases of a man, namely, Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, and finally Sanyasa, as prescribed by Manusmriti for the Dhwija castes, in the Hindu system of life. | ||||||||
