called vamsh. At some places the word kula is used to convey a community or a group. For example in the statement from the Agams-Uchcha-neech-majjhim kulesu adamane-in context of alms seeking by ascetics, kula is interpreted as a group or row of houses instead of clan.
This aphorism mentions names of some important clans of ancient times. For example-Ugra-kula-the clan which was established by Bhagavan Rishabh Dev as the clan of protectors. Arakshi-kula or Bhog-kula-the Brahmin-clan or the priests revered by kings. Rajanya-kula-Kshatriya and other such clans that were friendly to the rulers. Ikshvaku-kula-the lineage to which Bhagavan Rishabh Dev and Shri Ram belonged. Harivamsha-kula-the descendants of Shrikrishna and Arishtanemi. Esiya-kula-cowherds. Vesiya-kulatraders. Gandak-kula-barbers. Kottaga (Eshya)-kula-carpenters. Vokkasaliya-kula-weavers. Gamarakkha-kula-village guards.
commentator (Churni) has interpreted some differently-Esiya-traders; vesiya-dyers; gandaak-village messengers; and kottaga-chariot makers. Care about uncontaminated and acceptable food should be taken at every house. Jugupsit-kula or abominable-clan is that where on entering the house one is filled with repulsion due to filthy surroundings or foul food. Garhit-kula or infamous-clan is that which invokes criticism and infamy if visited.
