These are the Arya-countries, distinguished by these cities, in which the birth of Tirthakṛts, Cakrabhṛts, Kṛṣṇas and Balas takes place.
The Jatyaryas are the Ikṣvākus, Jñātas, Haris, Videhas, Kurus, Ugras, Bhojas, and Rājanyas.
Kulāryas are the Kulakaras, Cakrins, Visņus, and Balas, or those who are born in a pure family from the third, fifth, or seventh generation.254
They are called Karmāryas who earn their livelihood by sacrifices, making sacrifices for others, by study and teaching of the śastras, or by suitable occupations.
They are Silpāryas who have occupations of little blame, such as weavers, tailors, potters, barbers, and attendants on idols.
They are called Bhāṣāryas who transact the business of the (other) five Āryas with language restricted to the best language.255
