मन्वन्तरेषु सर्वेषु यावदाभूतसंप्लवम्
In all the Manvantaras, until the dissolution of beings,
अतीतानागतानां वै प्रोक्तं स्वायंभुवेन तु
Of the past and future, this has been declared by Svayambhu.
एवं संतत्यविच्छेदो भवत्याभूतसंप्लवात्
Thus, the continuity of succession is maintained until the dissolution of beings.
महाजनं चैव जनान्तपश्च चैकान्तगानि प्रभवन्ति सत्ये
Great beings and the ends of people arise exclusively in the Satya age.
स्त्ये स्थिता नित्यतया तु नित्यं प्राप्ते विकारे प्रतिसर्ग काले
In Satya, they remain eternally, but when change comes at the time of re-creation,
ततो ऽभियोगा विषयप्रहाणाद्विशन्ति नारायणमेव देवम्
Then, through detachment and renunciation of sense objects, they enter only into the god Nārāyaṇa.
क्षणं न वै तिष्ठति जीवलोकः क्षयोदयाभ्यां परिवर्तमानः
The world of living beings does not remain even for a moment, constantly turning through decay and growth.
वायुप्रणीतान्युपलभ्य दृश्याद् दिव्यौजसां व्याससमासयोगैः
Having perceived those things moved by the wind, through the union of Vyasa's concise and comprehensive methods, and by divine energy.
सुरेशसप्तर्षिपितृप्रजेशैर्युक्तानि सम्यक् परिवर्त्तनानि
The proper cycles are joined with the lords of gods, the seven sages, the ancestors, and the rulers of progeny.
कीर्तिद्युतिख्यातिभिरर्चितानां पुण्यं हि विश्यापनमीश्वराणाम्
For those who are honored by fame, brilliance, and renown, the merit is indeed the spreading of the dominion of the gods.
जप्यं महापर्वसु चैतदग्र्यं दुःखापशान्तिप्रदमायुषीयम्
This supreme recitation at great festivals grants relief from suffering and increases lifespan.
ममापि विख्यापयतः समासात्सिद्धिं प्रजेशाः प्रदिशन्तु युक्ताः
Even as I proclaim this in summary, may the rulers of progeny, being united, grant accomplishment.
विस्तरेणानुपूर्व्या च भूयः किं वर्णयाम्यहम्
What more should I describe in detail and sequence?
मन्वन्तराधिपांश्चैव शक्रदेवपुरोगमान्
And the lords of the Manvantaras, with Indra and the foremost among the gods.
समासा द्विस्तराच्चैव ब्रुवतो मे निबोधत
Listen to me as I briefly recount them twice over.
उत्तमस्तामसश्चैव रैवतश्चाक्षुषस्तथा
Uttama, Tamasa, Raivata, and also Akshusha.
सावर्णिश्चैव रौच्यश्च भौत्यो वैवस्वतस्तथा
Savarni, Raucya, Bhautya, and likewise Vaivasvata.
मनवः पञ्च ये ऽतीता मानसांस्तान्निबोधत
Hear about the five Manus who have passed, those born from the mind.
अत ऊर्ध्वं प्रवक्ष्यामि मनाः स्वारोचिषस्य ह
Now I will speak further about the Manus of the Svarocisha era.
आसन्वै तुषिता देवा मनोः स्वारोचिषे ऽन्तरे
Indeed, the Tusita gods existed during the interval of Svarocisha Manu.
तुषितायां समुत्पन्नाः क्रतोः पुत्राः स्वरोचिषः
The sons of Kratu, Svarocisha, were born among the Tusita.
छन्दजाश्च चतुर्विंशद्देवास्ते वै तदा स्मृताः
And the twenty-four Chandaja gods were remembered at that time.
अजश्च भगवाश्चैव द्रविणश्य महा बलः
Aja, Bhagava, and Dravina, of great strength.
चिकित्वान्विश्रुतो यस्तु चांशो यश्चैव पठ्यते
Cikitvan, who is renowned, and Amsha, who is also mentioned.
इत्येते क्रतुपुत्रास्तु तदासन्सोमपायिनः
Thus, these are the sons of Kratu, who at that time partook of the Soma.
समञ्जो विश्रुतो यस्तु ह्यजिह्मश्चारिमर्द्दनः
Samanja, renowned and upright, who crushes enemies.
अजेयश्च महाभागो यवीयांश्च महाबलः
And Ajeya, greatly fortunate, younger and of great strength.
इत्येता देवता ह्यासन्मनोः स्वारोचिषान्तरे
These were the deities during the interval of Svārociṣa Manu.
तेषामिन्द्रस्तदा ह्यासीद्विपश्चिल्लोकविश्रुतः
Among them, Indra was then Vipascit, famed throughout the worlds.
