Adhyaya 78 — Hymn to Surya and the Distribution of Solar Splendour; Genealogy of Vaivasvata and Chaya’s Line
ततः पूर्वसुतो योऽस्याः सोऽभूद्वैवस्वतो मनुः ।
द्वितीयश्च यमः शापाद्धर्मदृष्टिरभूत् सुतः ॥
tataḥ pūrvasuto yo 'syāḥ so 'bhūd vaivasvato manuḥ / dvitīyaś ca yamaḥ śāpād dharmadṛṣṭir abhūt sutaḥ
随后,她先出生的儿子成为毗婆斯瓦特·摩奴(Vaivasvata Manu);第二个是阎摩(Yama)。但由于诅咒,(另一个)儿子成了“达摩见者”达摩·德里什提(Dharma-dṛṣṭi)。
Cosmic offices (Manu as lawgiver, Yama as judge) are grounded in lineage and merit, yet narratives also stress accountability: curses represent moral causality shaping destinies.
Manvantara + Vaṃśa: it directly names the Manu of the Vaivasvata period and links him to the Solar genealogy.
Manu and Yama can be read as complementary principles: governance of life (social order) and governance of death (ethical reckoning). ‘Dharma-dṛṣṭi’ symbolizes conscience awakened through karmic pressure.
