Nyaya Sastra was founded by Gautama to affirm Vedic concepts and to refute non-Vedic arguments.
"The Science of Logic is that which illumines all learning, the instrument of all actions, the refuge of all moral ethics analysed completely for the purpose of knowledge", said he.
Pradeepa Sarva Vidyanam
Upadhi sarva karmanam
Ashraya Sarva Dharmanam
Vidyoddhese pareekhithah
Nirukta was founded by the seer Yaska. It is the Science of Definition. Aristotle said " If you want to converse with me, define your terms". So defining all terms is the duty of Nirukta ( Vasti tasya niruktham thu veda nirvachanam sphutam ).

The Four Noble Professions !
We find that professionals belong to four types.
Businessmen are Vaisyas; Spiritual People are Brahmanas; Military People are Kshatriyas and Service people are Shudras. No caste is meant here. The Four Noble Professions become the Four Noble Tribes, based on profession and qualities !
The Lord says in the Gita
The Four Noble Professions I did create
Based on innate qualities & profession
Even though I am the Cause for the Noble Four
Know me to be the Transcendent beyond all !
As all these bindings mundane
Involve me not, enchain me not !
( Chathurvarnyam Maya Srishtam
Guna Karma Vibhagsah
Tasyakarthara mapi mam
Vidhya akartharam anvayam )
