Vaivasvata-Manu Sarga and the Re-Manifestation of the Saptarṣis (वैवस्वतसर्गः—सप्तर्षिप्रादुर्भावः)
पुत्रत्वे कल्पिताश्चैव स्वयमेव स्वयंभुवा / प्रजासंतानकृद्भिस्तैरुत्पदद्भिर्महात्मभिः
putratve kalpitāścaiva svayameva svayaṃbhuvā / prajāsaṃtānakṛdbhistairutpadadbhirmahātmabhiḥ
Svayaṃbhū himself appointed them as sons; those great souls were born as begetters, to extend the lineage of living beings.
