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 ||
ហិរ៉ណ្យលោមា វេដស្រី និង ឩរទ្វបាហុ; វេដបាហុ សុធាមា និង បរជន្យៈ មហាឥសី—ទាំងនេះត្រូវបានដាក់ឈ្មោះក្នុងចំណោមពួកគេ។
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.
