The Jyeṣṭha Full-Moon Vow, the Birth of the Maruts, and the Outline of Secondary Creation
Manvantaras
गतेंतरे चाक्षुषनामधेये वैवस्वताख्ये च पुनः प्रवृत्ते । प्रजापतिः सोस्य चराचरस्य बभूव सूर्यान्वयजः सचिह्नः
gateṃtare cākṣuṣanāmadheye vaivasvatākhye ca punaḥ pravṛtte | prajāpatiḥ sosya carācarasya babhūva sūryānvayajaḥ sacihnaḥ
Apabila sela masa itu berlalu dan zaman bernama Cākṣuṣa berakhir, lalu Manvantara Vaivasvata bermula kembali, maka tampil sebagai Prajāpati bagi seluruh ciptaan yang bergerak dan tidak bergerak seorang yang lahir daripada keturunan Surya, terserlah dengan tanda-tandanya.

FAQs
It marks the transition from the Cākṣuṣa era to the Vaivasvata Manvantara and states that a solar-lineage figure becomes Prajāpati (progenitor) over all beings.
Vaivasvata refers to Vaivasvata Manu, the Manu associated with the current Manvantara in many Purāṇic accounts, linked to the Sun (Vivasvān).
The verse emphasizes cosmic order and lawful succession: governance of creation (prajā-sṛṣṭi and maintenance) proceeds through appointed lineages and eras rather than randomness.
