यज्ञप्रवर्तनम् (Yajña-pravartana) — The Institution/Commencement of Sacrifice in Dvāpara
देवा ह्यष्टविधा ये वा इह मन्वन्तरेश्वराः / ऋषयो मनवश्चैव सर्वे तुल्याः प्रयोजनैः
devā hyaṣṭavidhā ye vā iha manvantareśvarāḥ / ṛṣayo manavaścaiva sarve tulyāḥ prayojanaiḥ
The gods who rule the manvantara are said to be of eight kinds; and the rishis and the Manus as well—all are alike in their purposes and functions.
