Adhyaya 79 — The Vaivasvata Manvantara: Classes of Devas, the Seven Sages, and Manu’s Nine Sons
भृगोस्तु भृगवो देवाः पुत्रा ह्यङ्गिरसः सुताः ।
एष सर्गश्च मारीचो विज्ञेयः साम्प्रताधिपः ॥
bhṛgos tu bhṛgavo devāḥ putrā hy aṅgirasaḥ sutāḥ | eṣa sargaś ca mārīco vijñeyaḥ sāmpratādhipaḥ ||
在诸神之中，婆利古族（Bhṛgu）确为婆利古（Bhṛgu）之子；安吉罗萨族（Aṅgirasas）为安吉罗（Aṅgiras）之子。此一创造（sarga）当理解为摩利遮（Mārīca）之系谱，即现今主宰者之系。
FAQs
The text emphasizes intelligibility: the cosmos is not arbitrary but classifiable. For dharma, this supports the principle that right action depends on right understanding of one’s place in a structured order.
Sarga: explicit mention of ‘sarga’ and its classification (Mārīca). Also supports Manvantara by identifying the r̥ṣi-derived groups active in the age.
Calling the sarga ‘Mārīca’ hints at a luminous/solar (‘marīci’ = ray) symbolism: creation as radiance—ordered unfolding from subtle light into named forms.
