The literary evidence show that in order to gain the meaning of this Internal and external life, one is meant to leave his partner and live in isolation for some reasons for a considerable time period.

Omens were seen to play significant role among in their life as well, especially when the begun their journey or return home. They serve as significant indications to tip when one shall take the journey or shall not. It is known facts that such practices were still practiced by present-day community.
There were a lot of instances showing such situations in the classical literatures, showing the importance of Omen. This article offer descriptions and explanations related to the cause of the omens and its developmental trends.
