Sandhi Resolution Notes: मनुर्भूतिसुतस्तद्वद्भौत्यो = मनुः + भूतिसुतः + तद्वत् + भौत्यः (visarga sandhi: ः + भ → र्भ; ः + त → स्त; final -त् before भ → द्भ).
FAQs
Ruci is identified as a Prajāpati (a progenitor figure). The verse states that his son will be named Raucya.
‘Bhautya’ is presented as an epithet/name for a Manu, indicating he is the son of Bhūti (bhūti-suta), hence ‘Bhautya’—“descended from Bhūti.”
In the Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa, such verses commonly preserve genealogical and cosmological traditions—naming progenitors, their descendants, and key figures (like Manus) involved in the unfolding of creation and social order.
