    a. Kshatriyas - 6. the nobles within Hindu society

    The Hindu society has been divided into four main classes, or rather castes. Each of these castes was comprised of people that shared the same or similar titles, and they have the same or similar roles in the society. One of the fours castes was comprised by the Kshatriyas. The Kshatriyas were the nobles, thus they were in the second caste from the top by hierarchy. This caste was based on warriorhood, so the members of this caste were the best warriors of the society, with their purpose being conquering of new territories and defending the territory.

    b. Brahma - 1. The Hindu creator

    The term Brahma is used for the creator in the Hinduism. A Brahma represents the first being that is created in the cycle of life.

Brahma is further considered to be one of the three supreme Gods in the trinity, being associated with Trimurti. This can be seen as the basis of the Hindu belief of reincarnation, as in this religion the soul doesn't die, goes to hell or heaven, or something similar, but instead it moves on from one body to another, and it is not only between human bodies, but also animal bodies as well.

    c. yoga - 4. the practice of trying to yoke one's mind to God

In modern times the yoga has become popular on global level, though it is mostly the physical part of it that is used in the form of exercises.

    e. Shiva - 3. the destroyer or restorer within the Hindu godhead

    Shiva is one of the three supreme Gods in the Hinduism, being associated with both destruction and creation. This God has lot of power associated with it, and from one side it is the God that is destroying things at its will because it doesn't consider them as right, while on the other side it creates, acts as a protector, and transforms the universe by its will and as it considers to be right.

Even though the Vaishays did not had the privileges of the top two castes they were still seen as integral part of the society, so at least they were not discriminated in general. Their importance was mostly seen in the economic sector, as they were the ones that were enabling the flow of goods and money in the society.

    g. Brahmins - 5. Hindu priests
