He also taught them how to make them. ||20|| Thus, the people were pleased by the advice given by King Nabhiraj. They honored him greatly and followed the way of life he had taught them, which was suitable for that time. ||205|| King Nabhiraj, who was the benefactor of the people, was the only one who existed at that time when the system of enjoyment on earth was destroyed. Therefore, he attained the state of the Kalpataru, meaning he was like the Kalpataru in benefiting the people. ||206|| The fourteen Manus, starting from the first one and ending with Nabhiraj, who have been described above, were all great men of noble lineage in their previous births in the Videha region. ||207|| In that birth, they had already bound the lifespan of the enjoyment realm by performing meritorious deeds like giving gifts and observing vows as per their capacity. After attaining Samyagdarshan, they lived near the Jina and obtained the knowledge of the scriptures. As a result, they were born in this Bharat Kshetra after their death at the end of their lifespan. ||208-209|| Some of these fourteen were Kulkaras who remembered their lineage, and some were possessors of the eye of knowledge (Avadhijnana). Therefore, they considered and taught the people the duties mentioned above. ||210|| These Manus and Aryan men, knowing the means of livelihood for the people, were called Kulkaras because they taught them to live like a family. They established many lineages and were therefore called Kuladhara. They were also called Yugadhipurusha because they were born at the beginning of the Yuga. ||211-212|| Lord Rishabhadeva was both a Tirthankara and a Kulkara. Similarly, King Bharat was a Chakravarti and a Kuladhara. ||213||
