Vayu Purana

ब्रह्मशापेन ते जाताः पुनः स्वायम्भुवे जिताः। स्वारोचिषे वै तुषिताः सत्याश्चैवोत्तमे पुनः ।। ५.

By the curse of Brahmā, they were born again and conquered in the Svāyambhuva Manvantara; in the Svārociṣa Manvantara, they were called Tuṣitas, and in the Uttama Manvantara, Satyas.

The twelve immortal Sādhyas, sons of Dharma and greatly fortunate, were previously followed in the period of Manu Cākṣuṣa.

In the past, during the Svārociṣa Manvantara, the mighty gods called Tuṣitas spoke among themselves in the Cākṣuṣa Manvantara.

When only a few remained at that time, the Tuṣita gods said: 'Let us, the greatly fortunate, enter among the Sādhyas; in the coming Manvantara, we shall be them, and that will be for our greater good.'

एवमुक्त्वातु ते सर्वे चाक्षुषस्यान्तरे मनोः। तस्माद्द्वादशसम्भूतान् धर्मान् स्वायम्भुवात् पुनः ।। ५.

Having thus spoken, all of them, in the period of Manu Cākṣuṣa, were again born from the twelve Dharmas of Svāyambhuva.
