Adhyaya 53 — Rudrasarga and the Measure of the Manvantaras: Svayambhuva Manu, Priyavrata’s Line, and the Seven Dvipas
पुष्कराधिपतिं चापि सवनं कृतवान् सुतम् ।
महावीतो धातकीश्च पुष्कराधिपतेः सुतौ ॥
puṣkarādhipatiṃ cāpi savanaṃ kṛtavān sutam |
mahāvīto dhātakīś ca puṣkarādhipateḥ sutau ||
Và ông lập con trai mình là Savana làm người cai trị Puṣkara (dvīpa). Mahāvīta và Dhātakī là hai người con trai của vị chúa tể Puṣkara ấy.
Succession is depicted as structured and named: the stability of realms depends on clear transmission of responsibility across generations.
Vaṃśa/Vaṃśānucarita (lineage continuation) within cosmographic narration of the dvīpas.
Puṣkara (lotus imagery) can suggest purity and centrality; the text’s placement of rulership there hints at an archetype of ‘lotus-throne’ order—authority grounded in cosmic symmetry.
