Manvantaras
प्रतिसर्गममी कृत्वा जग्मुस्ते परमं पदम् । एवं स्वायंभुवं प्रोक्तं स्वारोचिषमतः परम्
pratisargamamī kṛtvā jagmuste paramaṃ padam | evaṃ svāyaṃbhuvaṃ proktaṃ svārociṣamataḥ param

It marks a transition: the narrative of the Svāyaṃbhuva Manvantara is concluded, and the text signals the next section—Svārociṣa—showing the Purāṇic method of organizing cosmology by successive Manvantaras.
Pratisarga refers to re-creation or renewed manifestation of the world and beings after dissolution phases, a recurring cycle described in Purāṇic cosmology.
