Explanation
Shastras pairs with learned scholarship, Varta with agriculture, trade, commerce and animal husbandry, Kavyas with imaginative literature, and Anviksiki with logic.
Shastras denoted the body of authoritative scholarly and learned texts.
Varta covered the practical sciences of farming, trade, commerce and cattle rearing.
Kavyas referred to imaginative and creative literature such as poetry and drama.
Anviksiki was the science of reasoning and logic, the earliest Indian tradition of inquiry.
This fourfold classification appears in Kautilya's Arthashastra.
