Varāha-uddhāraṇa and the Re-constitution of Bhū-maṇḍala
Earth after Pralaya
ब्रह्मणां लोकतन्त्रेण आद्ये मन्वन्तरे पुरा / पंथानो देवयाना ये तेषां द्वारं रंविः स्मृतः / तथैव पितृयानानां चन्द्रमा द्वारमुच्यते
brahmaṇāṃ lokatantreṇa ādye manvantare purā / paṃthāno devayānā ye teṣāṃ dvāraṃ raṃviḥ smṛtaḥ / tathaiva pitṛyānānāṃ candramā dvāramucyate
By Brahmā’s ordinance of the worlds, in the ancient first Manvantara, the gate of the paths called Devayāna is remembered to be Ravi, the Sun; likewise, the gate of the paths called Pitṛyāna is said to be Candramā, the Moon.
