The Seventh Manvantara

Skandha VIII. Chap. 13

Srâddha Deva son of Vivasvat or Sûrya is the seventh Manu. He is reigning at present. Ikshvâku, Nabhaga, Dhrishta, Saryâti, Narishyanta, Nâbhâga, Dishta, Tarusha, Prishadhra, and Vasumat are his ten sons.

The Âdityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Visvadevas, the Maruts, the Asvini-kumaras and the Ribhus are the Devas. Purandara is their Indra. Kâsyapa, Atri, Vasistha, Visvâmitra, Goutama, Jamadagni and Bharadvâja are the seven Rishis.

The Avatâra of this Manvantara is Vâmana, the youngest son of Aditi by Kâsyapa.

(The Purâna will revert to this Manvantara after giving a general account of the succeeding Manvantaras).
