Verse 7

¹Manu, son of Vivasvat, is known as Sraddhadeva. He is the seventh, and the one whose period is running now. Hear from me who his children are. ²Iksvaku and Nabhaga, Dhrsta and Saryati, Narisyanta and then Nabhaga; the seventh is called Dista. ³Tarusa and Prsadhra, and the tenth is remembered as Vasuman. These are the ten sons of Manu the son of Vivasvat, burner of foes. ⁴The Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the All-gods, the companies of Maruts, the two Asvins and the Rbhus, king; and the Indra among them is the breaker of forts. ⁵Kasyapa, Atri and Vasistha, Visvamitra and then Gautama, Jamadagni and Bharadvaja: these are remembered as the seven sages.

⁶In this period too there was a birth of the Bhagavan: of Kasyapa and Aditi, Visnu, the youngest of the Adityas, wearing the form of a dwarf. ⁷I have told you the seven periods of the Manus in brief. Now I will tell you those that are to come, and how the power of Visnu goes with them.
