Q. Consider the following pairs:
  1. Aitareya Brahmana – first mention of asrama system
  2. Jabala Upanishad – explanation of the four asramas
  3. Chandogya Upanishad – a detailed description of the upanayana
Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: The Aitareya Brahmana contains the first mention of the asrama system. The Jabala Upanishad gives an explanation of the four asramas. The description of upanayana is actually found in the Satapatha Brahmana, not Chandogya Upanishad. Thus, only pairs 1 and 2 are correct, while pair 3 is not.
