Cāravin (चारविन्) refers to one of the Six Āśramas, according to the Kubjikā-Nityāhnikatilaka: a 10th century text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—The system of the four Brahmanical Āśramas also survived practically intact during the time of the Tantric and non-Tantric manifestations of Śaivism and Vaiṣṇavism. Furthermore, the Nityāhnikatilaka (NGMPP 3384, A 41/11, fols 2r–3r), a post-tenth-century text of the Kubjikā tradition, teaches Six Āśramas [e.g., Cāravin] mostly intended for Yogins .
