These are shAstra-kruta-adhyAropa.  Gaudapada has discussed this:
4.42,43,44:

उपलम्भात्समाचारादस्तिवस्तुत्ववादिनाम् ।
जातिस्तु देशिता बुद्धैरजातेस्त्रसतां सदा ॥ ४२ ॥

अजातेस्त्रसतां तेषामुपलम्भाद्वियन्ति ये ।
जातिदोषा न सेत्स्यन्ति दोषोऽप्यल्पो भविष्यति ॥ ४३ ॥

उपलम्भात्समाचारान्मायाहस्ती यथोच्यते ।
उपलम्भात्समाचारादस्ति वस्तु तथोच्यते ॥ ४४ ॥

The shAstra has devised varnasrama, and all that is required for sadhana,
with a view to help those who are not yet risen to the level of
appreciating ajAti - that is no-creation. When they come to that level, it
is not that they will discard all that, but will appreciate that this is
what has brought them to that higher level.

The bhashya of the above three verses explains all.
