Verse 9

¹King, this act of Hari's has now been told to you, the holy freeing of the elephant king, which destroys wrongdoing. Now hear about the turn of Raivata. ²The fifth Manu was named Raivata, brother of Tamasa. His sons were Bali, Vindhya and the rest, with Arjuna at their head. ³Vibhu was Indra, king, and the hosts of gods were the Bhutarayas and the others; Hiranyaroma, Vedasira, Urdhvabahu and the rest were the twice-born. ⁴Vikuntha was the wife of Subhra, and of the two of them, by a portion of himself, the Bhagavan was born as Vaikuntha, with the Vaikunthas, the best of the gods. ⁵It was he who fashioned the world Vaikuntha, to which the worlds bow, at the asking of the goddess Fortune and out of a wish to please her.

⁶His power has been told, and the qualities of him that rise the highest. A man has counted the grains of dust on the earth if he can tell over the qualities of Visnu. ⁷The sixth was the son of Caksus, the Manu named Caksusa; and Puru, Purusa, Sudyumna and the rest were the sons of Caksusa. ⁸There Indra was Mantradruma, the gods were the Apyas and the other hosts, and the sages there, king, were Havismat, Viraka and the rest. ⁹There too, of Vairaja by Devasambhuti, there was born a son named Ajita, the Bhagavan by a portion of himself, the lord of the world.
