Adhyaya 80 — Vaivasvata Manvantara: Enumeration of Manus and the Eighth Manu Sāvarṇi
सुतपाश्चामिताभाश्च मुख्याश्चैव त्रिधा सुराः ।
विंशकः कथिताश्चैषां त्रयाणां त्रिगुणो गणः ॥
sutapāś cāmitābhāś ca mukhyāś caiva tridhā surāḥ / viṃśakaḥ kathitāś caiṣāṃ trayāṇāṃ triguṇo gaṇaḥ
诸天分为三类：苏塔帕斯、阿弥陀婆斯与穆克希亚。每一类皆说为二十位一组；因此三类合计为二十的三倍。
