Vaivasvata-Manu Sarga and the Re-Manifestation of the Saptarṣis (वैवस्वतसर्गः—सप्तर्षिप्रादुर्भावः)
ऋषय ऊचुः कथं सप्तर्षयः पूर्वमुत्पन्नाः सप्त मनसाः / पुत्रत्वे कल्पिताश्चैव तन्नो निगद सत्तम
ṛṣaya ūcuḥ kathaṃ saptarṣayaḥ pūrvamutpannāḥ sapta manasāḥ / putratve kalpitāścaiva tanno nigada sattama
The sages said: “O best of men, how did the Seven Ṛṣis arise in the beginning? And how were those seven ‘manas’ conceived as sons? Tell us this.”
