हिरण्यलोमा वेदश्रीरूर्ध्वबाहुस्तथापरः ।
वेदबाहुः सुधामा च पर्जन्यश्च महामुनिः ॥
hiraṇyalomā vedaśrīr ūrdhvabāhus tathāparaḥ | vedabāhuḥ sudhāmā ca parjanyaś ca mahāmuniḥ ||
हिरण्यलोमा, वेदश्री आणि ऊर्ध्वबाहु; वेदबाहु, सुधामा व महर्षी पर्जन्य—हेही त्यांच्यात नामाने सांगितले आहेत।
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.
