Adhyaya 75 — The Fall and Restoration of Revatī Nakṣatra and the Birth of Raivata Manu
हिरण्यलोमा वेदश्रीरूर्ध्वबाहुस्तथापरः ।
वेदबाहुः सुधामा च पर्जन्यश्च महामुनिः ॥
hiraṇyalomā vedaśrīr ūrdhvabāhus tathāparaḥ | vedabāhuḥ sudhāmā ca parjanyaś ca mahāmuniḥ ||
હિરણ્યલોમા, વેદશ્રી અને ઊર્ધ્વબાહુ; વેદબાહુ, સુધામા તથા મહર્ષિ પર્જન્ય—આ નામો પણ તેમની વચ્ચે ઉલ્લેખિત છે।
Each manvantara is stabilized by ṛṣis: the tradition emphasizes that revelation and right conduct persist through appointed seers in every cosmic age.
Manvantara: the saptarṣi roster is one of the hallmark data-points for defining a manvantara.
The ‘seven seers’ motif represents the transmission channels of dharma; naming them concretizes the otherwise abstract continuity of sacred knowledge.
