Potters, carpenters, painters, weavers, barbers — five crafts, each of twenty parts, a hundred in all, that Ṛṣabha taught when the trees no longer gave vessels, houses and clothes.
The first craft was the potter's. Hemacandra has Ṛṣabha make the first vessel of clay with his own hands, because the Bhṛṅga trees no longer gave dishes; and from that the potters arose. Then, in order: carpenters for houses, painters for their decoration, weavers for clothes, barbers for hair and nails. "These five arts, each divided into twenty parts, one hundred-fold, spread among the people."
Four of the five answer a gift the trees had given — vessels (Bhṛṅga), houses (Gehākāra, twice over, carpenter and painter), clothes (Anagna). The barbers answer nothing a tree gave; the twins of the first ages had no need of them. Fields and fire answered Citrarasa, the food-tree. With the crafts came measures — of bulk, weight, length, and the jeweller's — and courts with plaintiff, defendant, magistrate and witnesses.
Ten trees, and what replaced them — The hundred crafts highlighted
