During the age of Svārociṣa Manu, the sons of Kratu, known as the Svarocishas, were born among the Tusita gods. At this time, the twenty-four Chandaja deities were also remembered. Among them were Aja, Bhagava, and Dravina, all possessing great strength. Cikitvan, renowned for his wisdom, and Amsha, whose name is also spoken with reverence, were counted among Kratu’s sons. These noble beings partook of the sacred Soma during that era. Samanja, upright and famous for crushing enemies, and Ajeya, the fortunate and powerful younger one, were also present. These deities ruled during the interval of Svārociṣa Manu. Indra, known as Vipascit, was famed throughout the worlds in this period. The seven sages of this age were Bhārgava, Prāma, Ṛṣabha, Āṅgirasa, Paulah, Atharvarī, and others. Bṛhaduktha, Nava, Setu, and Śruta—these nine are remembered as well. This enumeration, as found in the Purāṇas, marks the second Manvantara. These beings are the roots of the Manvantara, from whom the peoples and their descendants arise. The sages and sons of the gods are thus established by scripture. This Manvantara is described here only in summary, not in detail, for its full account cannot be told even in hundreds of years. In the third cycle, during the interval of Uttama Manu, the Sudhāmāna gods and others who were obedient were present. Their names were Satya, Dhṛti, Dama, Dānta, Kṣama, Kṣāma, Dhvani, and Śuci. Thus, these twelve are called the Sudhāmānas. Alongside them were Viśvadhā, Viśvakarmā, Mānasa, and Virājasa; Avadhya, Avratir, Deva, Vasur, Dhishnya, and Vibhavasu; Rathormi, Ketuman, and Pratardana; Sudana, Vasudana, Sumanjasa, and Vishāva. These twelve additional deities are auspicious and fit for sacrifice. Dikpati, Vākpati, Vishva, and Shambhu were present as well, along with Ashva, Sadashva, Kshema, and Ananda. All these deities existed during the period of Uttama Manu. The sons of Angiras were the offspring of Uttama, the lord of progeny, and these were the seven sages of his era. Among them were Devamvuj and Apratima, both of great energy, and Gaja. Thirteen sons were born to Uttama Manu, the great-souled. The creation of Uttama is enumerated as belonging to the Svārociṣa period. In the fourth cycle, during the period of Tāmasa Manu, the sons of Pulastya were the deities. The sages of this era are recognized as the representatives of the senses, and the senses themselves are remembered as the deities of that time. Now, O noble ones, hear the names of the seven sages of that era: Atri is Agni, and Jyotirdhama is Bhārgava. Thus, the sacred account of these Manvantaras, their gods, sages, and progeny, is revealed, each era marked by its own divine hosts and wise seers, as remembered in the ancient scriptures.
