[[Grhyasutras (गृह्यसूत्राणि)|Grhyasutras]] and [[Dharmasutras (धर्मसूत्राणि)|Dharmasutras]] are the primary texts that describe the Varnashrama system explicitly and are considered as primary texts that deal with this matter in great detail.  

[[Grhyasutras (गृह्यसूत्राणि)|Grhyasutras]] and [[Dharmasutras (धर्मसूत्राणि)|Dharmasutras]] are the primary texts that describe the [[Varnashrama Dharma (वर्णाश्रमधर्मः)|Varnashrama dharmas]] explicitly and are considered as ancient primary texts that deal with this matter in great detail. While the Vedas mention them in particular context such as marriage, Varnaashrama dharmas form the principal subject matter of these Vedanga texts. They laid strict rules regarding the occupations to be followed largely in a hereditary manner. All Grhyasutras and Dharmasutras such as those of Baudhayana, Apastamba, Gautama, and Vashishta discuss the Varnadharmas with few differences, or with some peculiarity, omission or addition of principles.  Here the Baudhayana Dharmasutras are quoted as an example for the Varnadharmas for the people of four varnas.
