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
சாவர்ணி, ஐந்து ரௌச்யர்கள், மேலும் பௌத்யன்—இவர்கள் வரவிருக்கும் மனுக்கள். இவர்களின் விரிவான விவரம் பின்னர் மன்வந்தரப் பிரகரணத்தில் கூறப்படும்.
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.
