Adhyaya 79 — The Vaivasvata Manvantara: Classes of Devas, the Seven Sages, and Manu’s Nine Sons
भृगोस्तु भृगवो देवाः पुत्रा ह्यङ्गिरसः सुताः ।
एष सर्गश्च मारीचो विज्ञेयः साम्प्रताधिपः ॥
bhṛgos tu bhṛgavo devāḥ putrā hy aṅgirasaḥ sutāḥ | eṣa sargaś ca mārīco vijñeyaḥ sāmpratādhipaḥ ||
ភೃគុទេវៈ ក្នុងចំណោមទេវតា ពិតជាបុត្ររបស់ ភೃគុ; ហើយ អង្គិរាសៈ ជាបុត្ររបស់ អង្គិរាស។ សೃષ્ટិ (សರ್ಗ) នេះ ត្រូវយល់ថា ជាវង្ស មារីច (Mārīca) ដែលកំពុងគ្រប់គ្រងនៅបច្ចុប្បន្ន។
The text emphasizes intelligibility: the cosmos is not arbitrary but classifiable. For dharma, this supports the principle that right action depends on right understanding of one’s place in a structured order.
Sarga: explicit mention of ‘sarga’ and its classification (Mārīca). Also supports Manvantara by identifying the r̥ṣi-derived groups active in the age.
Calling the sarga ‘Mārīca’ hints at a luminous/solar (‘marīci’ = ray) symbolism: creation as radiance—ordered unfolding from subtle light into named forms.
