Let me tell you of the lineage of the future Manus, as spoken in the sacred Garuḍa Purāṇa. The sons of Sāvarṇi, the Manu to come, are named Varishtha, Garishtha, Vāca, and Saṅgati. Among them are also Ṛṣyaśṛṅga and Rāma, and the seven sages are counted in their company. In their era, the gods will be grouped as twenty for each division. There is mention of the one who, when requested, granted three steps to Viṣṇu—a deed of great significance. Listen further to the sons of Vāruṇa, Dakṣa Sāvarṇi, the ninth Manu: Pṛthuśravā, Bṛhadūdyumna, Ṛcīka, Bṛhato, and Guṇa. Alongside them are Medhātithi, Dyuti, Sabala, and Vasu. Paro, Marīci's Garbha, and Su-dharmāṇa are also named among his sons. During this time, the gods will be a group of twelve each. Now hear of the sons of Dharmaputra, the tenth Manu: Śatānīka, Niramitra, Vṛṣasena, and Jayadratha; Ayomūrti, Haviṣmān, Sukṛti, and Avyaya are also his sons. The gods then will be known as Prāṇa, numbering a hundred, and Bali, the adversary, will be struck down by Hari wielding a mace. Let me declare the sons of the eleventh Manu, the son of Rudra. His sons are Kṣetravarṇa, Dṛḍheṣu, and Ārdraka, with Viṣṇu and Agnitejas among them, and the seven sages are also mentioned. Each group of gods will consist of thirty, and Indra will be called Vṛṣa. Listen to the sons of Manu, the son of Dakṣa, the twelfth: Mitravān, Mitradeva, Mitrabindu, and Vīryavān. This Manu is an ascetic, possessed of great austerity, the embodiment of penance, and one who delights in austerity. Harita and Rohita, of great austerity and dedicated to their duties, are also among his sons. At this time, Indra, whose abode is righteousness, will face a foe named Tāraka. Now hear of the sons of Raucyamana, the thirteenth Manu: Sunetra, Kṣetravṛtti, Sunaya, Dharmapa, and Dṛḍha. Nirmoha and Tattvadarśa are the seven sages renowned in his era. There are thirty-three divisions among the gods at this time. Mādhava will slay the adversary, taking the form of a peacock. The sons of Bhautiya Manu are Urur, Gabhīra, Dhṛṣṭa, Tarasvī, Graha, Tejasvī, and Durlabha. Agnīdhra, Agnibāhu, Māgadha, and Śuci are also among them. Cākṣuṣa, those devoted to action, the pure, and the sinless are counted as well. Śuciindra, the great Daitya and slayer of enemies, is Hari himself. It is in this era that the Purāṇas were composed, along with the eighteen branches of knowledge: the Purāṇa, Dharmaśāstra, Ayurveda, and Arthaśāstra. Thus concludes the eighty-seventh chapter of the first section of the Pūrvakhaṇḍa in the Śrī Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa, known as 'The Account of the Lineage of Manus.' Then, Hari spoke to Brahmā, Hara, and others about the Manvantaras. Markaṇḍeya recounted that Hari, fearless and of immeasurable illusion, wandered the earth. He had no fire, no fixed abode, subsisted on a single meal, and had no hermitage. The ancestors spoke, saying: "Because heaven and liberation depend on you, we are bound without ceasing, not even for a moment." They explained that the householder is the one who offers proper honor to all the gods and ancestors. By uttering 'svāhā,' he satisfies the gods; by uttering 'svadhā,' he satisfies the ancestors. Every being is bound by debts to the gods, to the sages, to the ancestors, as well as by its own debts. Such is the account of the Manus and the duties that bind all beings, as revealed in the sacred Purāṇa.
