Their means of livelihood were Kalpavriksha / Sitting on gold in their shade, eating fruits, drinking the nectar of trees / They wore bark and listened to the music of trees every moment / They did not work, nor did they have any kind of worry, therefore they were long-lived and very happy. They did not do Dharma, nor did they do sinful deeds, there was no speaker, no listener, they were not arrogant, no one punished them, there was no ruler, nor were they ruled. Such was the life of the couple / The cycle of time was moving. The land of enjoyment was beginning to turn into the land of karma. The means of livelihood, Kalpavriksha, were disappearing. The problems of eating, drinking, and sleeping were beginning to torment them. What to eat and drink? Where to live, where to sleep? Above was the sky, below was the earth. How to protect oneself from cold, heat, and rain? Many such worries had surrounded man. There was a scramble for food and drink. Premature deaths began to occur and the life of the couple (husband and wife) became unmatched. The first Sushma-Sushma period and the second Sushma period had ended. The two divisions of the third Sushma-Dushma period had also ended. The third division's vicious cycle was going on / It was a time of transition / For the sake of happiness, peace, and order, the first five Kulkaras first tortured the criminals with the 'Hat' verbal punishment, but after some time this punishment became ineffective. This was the first principle of the suppression policy of punishment. The era of implanting violence in the human heart began here. The second five Kulkaras influenced the attackers by torturing them with the "Mat" verbal punishment, but this punishment also became ineffective as time passed / The third five Kulkaras ruled and suppressed those who spread unrest with the "Dhik" verbal punishment. Although these three punishments of the punishable were only verbal punishments, but the punishment, synonymous with violence, did not make man gentle but cruel, not merciful but wicked. The name of the first Kulkar was "Sumati". He was to use "Shaman" for the happiness and prosperity of mankind, but influenced by the crooked cycles of time, he also started the vicious cycle of "Daman". The last Kulkar was Shri Rishabhdev. When the punishment policy of condemnation also failed, the Karma Tripdi "1 Asi, 2 Masi, 3 Krishi" emerged from the mouth of Lord Rishabhdev (Adinath). The sunrise of human social life took place / Human society was divided into two classes / One class of rulers and one class of ruled. The minority ruling class began to discipline the majority ruled class. Lord Adinath's son Bharat became the emperor / He also began to use the suppression policy inherited from his ancestors on his brothers. When the original source of Upshamars, Lord Adinath (Rishabhdev), encouraged Bahubali and others for the eternal (spiritual) kingdom, they agreed. Because the humans of that era were of 'righteous nature'. The burning desire for the kingdom in the hearts of the brothers was completely extinguished by the invincible stream of non-violence. [18]
