Adhyaya 53 — Rudrasarga and the Measure of the Manvantaras: Svayambhuva Manu, Priyavrata’s Line, and the Seven Dvipas
सावर्णिः पञ्च रौच्याश्च भौत्याश्चागामिनस्त्वमी ।
एतेषां विस्तरं भूयो मन्वन्तरपरिग्रहे ॥
sāvarṇiḥ pañca raucyāś ca bhautyāś cāgāminas tv amī | eteṣāṃ vistaraṃ bhūyo manvantaraparigrahe
सावर्णि, पाच रौच्य आणि भौत्य—हे मनु पुढे येणार आहेत. यांचा सविस्तर वृत्तांत पुढे मन्वंतर-प्रकरणात सांगितला जाईल.
The cosmos is portrayed as forward-moving with renewed stewardship; this supports hope and continuity—dharma is not exhausted but cyclically re-established.
Manvantara: projection of future Manus and an internal cross-reference to fuller manvantara catalogues.
Future Manus can be read as latent possibilities of order: the universe holds ‘unmanifest administrations’—structured potentials not yet unfolded.
