कद्रू खसा मुनिस्तद्वत्तासु पुत्रान्निबोध मे । तुषिता नाम ये देवाश्चाक्षुषस्यांतरे मनोः
kadrū khasā munistadvattāsu putrānnibodha me | tuṣitā nāma ye devāścākṣuṣasyāṃtare manoḥ
Kadru, Khasā dan sang muni itu juga—dengarlah daripadaku tentang putera-putera mereka. Dalam Manvantara Cākṣuṣa Manu, para dewa yang bernama Tuṣita telah wujud.
Pulastya (narrating to Bhīṣma)
Concept: Time is cyclical and divinely ordered; different manvantaras host different deva-groups, yet dharma persists through regulated cosmic governance.
Application: Develop long-view steadiness: personal upheavals are small within cyclical time; align with dharma rather than transient power.

The verse signals a genealogical/encyclopedic passage: the narrator is organizing lineages and categories of beings (including divine groups) within the larger creation-time framework.
It emphasizes Purāṇic cosmological order: beings are situated within specific Manvantaras, and genealogies are presented as structured knowledge to be carefully received and remembered.
