(1) Pratisruti, the first Kulakara, explained to his kula the significance of natural phenomena, such as, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, of day and night, etc.
(2) Sanmati, the second Kulakara, expounded the system of constellation to his people and became the first astronomer of the Age.
(3) Ksemankara, the third Kulakara, taught them the art of taming the wild useful animals to employ them in the service of the human society.
(4) Ksemandhara, the fourth Kulakara, invented the science of making weapons out of wood and stone to chase wild animals.
(5) At the time of Simankara, the fifth Kulakara, many of the Kalpavrksas were destroyed by rain and flood, consequently there arose the disputes and quarrels among the people over the possession of a few remaining Kalpavṛksas for their subsistence. This Kulakara settled their disputes by fixing the propriety-zones for different groups of them, thus indirectly conferring the right to property on them.
(6) An acute shortage of Kalpavṛkṣas which supplied the foodstuff to the primitive people led to the quarrel and strife among them during the period of Simandhara, the sixth Kulakara. He conferred individual right to property on them by giving his verdict. It indicates the coming of private property into existence in some form, having a relation with exploitation in future.
(7) Vimalavahana, the seventh Kulakara, taught his people how to utilize the services of domesticated animals and to keep them under control by tying them with the tethering rope, the bridle and the like.
