Meaning

Anything that gives temporary liberation from suffering or bondages is called Artha. Bondages such as the necessity for food, water, clothes, accommodation, medical treatment, etc. are related to this world and are physical in nature. Anything that gives temporary relief from these bondages are called Artha. As mostly money or wealth is required to collect things like food, clothes, accommodation etc, in general "artha" means money or wealth.[3]
