Valmiki,
The Ramayana of Valmiki — Canto CVI: Bharat's Speech
(1870s)
“ The earth, the sons of trade, And e'en the mournful queens were filled With joy as Bharat prayed, And bent their heads, then weeping stilled A while, his prayer to aid. ↑ The four religious orders, referable to different times of life are, that of the student, that of the householder, that of the anchourite, and that of the mendicant.↑ To Gods, Men, and Manes. ”
