Manvantara Enumerations Begin: Svāyambhuva’s Austerity, Yajñapati’s Protection, and the Avatāras up to Hari
Gajendra Prelude
स्वारोचिषो द्वितीयस्तु मनुरग्ने: सुतोऽभवत् । द्युमत्सुषेणरोचिष्मत्प्रमुखास्तस्य चात्मजा: ॥ १९ ॥
svārociṣo dvitīyas tu manur agneḥ suto ’bhavat dyumat-suṣeṇa-rociṣmat pramukhās tasya cātmajāḥ
火神阿耆尼之子名为斯瓦罗奇沙者,成为第二位摩奴;其诸子以迪尤玛特、苏舍那与罗奇什玛特等为首。
manvantaraṁ manur devā manu-putrāḥ sureśvaraḥ ṛṣayo ’ṁśāvatāraś ca hareḥ ṣaḍ vidham ucyate
Svārociṣa is described here as the second Manu, born as the son of Agni, and he presides over the second manvantara.
It states that Svārociṣa Manu had sons, with Dyumat, Suṣeṇa, and Rociṣmān named as prominent among them.
By reflecting on the vast cycles of time described in the Bhāgavatam, one gains detachment from temporary worldly events and strengthens faith in dharma and devotion across changing ages.
