The vow for studying the three vedas with a guru is for 36 years (or whenever the undertaking comes to an end). After a man has acquired the knowledge of the vedas, he is supposed to either enter the householder stage of life or take up “Sanyas” and abandon this material world of desires and become a “Parivrajaka” (whichever way appeals to him).
Since Life is considered more difficult than Death, the householder phase is considered more difficult than the “Sanyas” phase. Rigveda hence challenges a subject to take up the householder phase, perform all the duties a man should maintain in a material world, acquire wealth and progeny through a woman and then enter the next phase of “Sanyas”. If a householder, after acquiring wealth and progeny, performs all his duties as a husband and a father and then becomes a Sanyasin, he is said to have achieved the Brahman living in a material world full of desires, which is far more difficult compared to achieving the Brahman living in a non material world.
According to ManuSmriti, following are some of the duties of a man when he enters the Householder stage of life
