Śrāddhadeva Manu (Vaivasvata Manu) is the son of Vivasvān and Saṁjñā; he is the Manu who presides over the present manvantara and represents the lawful order of human society.
This verse states that Saṁjñā bore twin children—Yama (the deity who administers death and justice) and Yamī—along with Vaivasvata Manu.
It highlights that the universe is guided by divinely appointed order—Manu for social law and Yama for moral accountability—encouraging one to live responsibly and in harmony with dharma.
