Adhyaya 80 — Vaivasvata Manvantara: Enumeration of Manus and the Eighth Manu Sāvarṇi
अस्मिन् कल्पे सप्त येऽन्ये भविष्यन्ति महामुने ।
मनवस्तान् समाचक्ष्व ये च देवादयश्च ये ॥
asmin kalpe sapta ye 'nye bhaviṣyanti mahāmune |
manavas tān samācakṣva ye ca devādayaś ca ye ||
In this kalpa, O great sage, tell me of the other seven Manus who are yet to come to be, and also of the gods and others associated with them.
