VISHNU PURAN BOOK III.
CHAP. I.
Account of the
several Manus and Manwantaras. Swarochisha the second Manu: the divinities, the
Indra, the seven Rishis of his period, and his sons. Similar details of
Auttami, Tamasa, Raivata, Chakshusha, and Vaivaswata. The forms of Vishnu, as
the preserver, in each Manwantara. The meaning of Vishnu.
MAITREYA.--The
disposition of the earth and of the ocean, and the system of the sun and the
planets, the creation of the gods and the rest, the origin of the Rishis, the
generation of the four castes, the production of brute creatures, and the
narratives of Dhruva and Prahlada, have been fully related by thee, my
venerable preceptor. I am now desirous to hear from you the series of all the
Manwantaras, as well as an account of those who preside over the respective
periods, with S'akra, the king of the gods, at their head.
PARAS'ARA.--I will
repeat to you, Maitreya, in their order, the different Manwantaras; those which
are past, and those which are to come.
The first Manu was
Swayambhuva, then came Swarochisha, then Auttami, then Tamasa, then Raivata,
then Chakshusha: these six Manus have passed away. The Manu who presides over
the seventh Manwantara, which is the present period, is Vaivaswata, the son of
the sun.
The period of
Swayambhuva Manu, in the beginning of the Kalpa, has already been described by
me, together with the gods, Rishis, and other personages, who then flourished.
I will now, therefore, enumerate the presiding gods, Rishis, and sons of the
Manu, in the Manwantara of Swarochisha. The deities of this period (or the
second Manwantara) were the classes called Paravatas and Tushitas; and the king
of the gods was the mighty Vipas'chit. The seven Rishis were Urja, Stambha, Prana,
Dattoli, Rishabha, Nis'chara, and Arvarivat; and Chaitra, Kimpurusha, and
others, were the Manu's sons.
In the third period,
or Manwantara of Auttami, Sus'anti was the Indra, the king of the gods; the
orders of whom were the Sudhamas, Satyas, S'ivas, and Vasavertis; each of the
five orders consisting of twelve divinities. The seven sons of Vas'ishtha were
the seven Rishis; and Aja, Paras'u, Divya, and others, were the sons of the
Manu.
The Surupas, Haris,
Satyas, and S'udhis were the classes of gods, each comprising twenty-seven, in
the period of Tamasa, the fourth Manu. S'ivi was the Indra, also designated by
his performance of a hundred sacrifices (or named S'atakratu). The seven Rishis
were Jyotirdhama, Prithu, Kavya, Chaitra, Agni, Vanaka, and Pivara. The sons of
Tamasa were the mighty kings Nara, Khyati, S'antahaya, Janujangha, and others.
In the fifth
interval the Manu was Raivata: the Indra was Vibhu: the classes of gods,
consisting of fourteen each, were the Amitabhas, Abhutarajasas, Vaikunthas, and
Sumedhasas: the seven Rishis were Hiranyaroma, Vedasri, Urddhabahu, Vedabahu,
Sudhaman, Parjanya, and Mahamuni: the sons of Raivata were Balabandhu,
Susambhavya, Satyaka, and other valiant kings.
These four Manus,
Swarochisha, Auttami, Tamasa, and Raivata, were all descended from Priyavrata,
who, in consequence of propitiating Vishnu by his devotions, obtained these
rulers of the Manwantaras for his posterity.
Chakshusha was the
Manu of the sixth period: in which the Indra was Manojava: the five classes of
gods were the Adyas, Prastutas, Bhavyas, Prithugas, and the magnanimous Lekhas,
eight of each: Sumedhas, Virajas, Havishmat, Uttama, Madhu, Abhinaman, and
Sahishnu were the seven sages: the kings of the earth, the sons of Chakshusha,
were the powerful Uru, Puru, S'atadyumna, and others.
The Manu of the
present period is the wise lord of obsequies, the illustrious offspring of the
sun: the deities are the Adityas, Vasus, and Rudras; their sovereign is
Purandara: Vas'ishtha, Kas'yapa, Atri, Jamadagni, Gautama, Vis'wamitra, and
Bharadwaja are the seven Rishis: and the nine pious sons of Vaivaswata Manu are
the kings Ikshwaku, Nabhaga, Dhrishta, Sanyati, Narishyanta, Nabhanidishta,
Karusha, Prishadhra, and the celebrated Vasumat.
The unequalled
energy of Vishnu combining with the quality of goodness, and effecting the
preservation of created things, presides over all the Manwantaras in the form
of a divinity. Of a portion of that divinity Yajna was born in the Swayambhuva
Manwantara, the will-begotten progeny of Akuti. When the Swarochisha Manwantara
had arrived, that divine Yajna was born as Ajita, along with the Tushita gods,
the sons of Tushita. In the third Manwantara, Tushita was again born of Satya,
as Satya, along with the class of deities so denominated. In the next period,
Satya became Hari, along with the Haris, the children of Hari. The excellent
Hari was again born in the Raivata Manwantara, of Sambhuti, as Manasa, along
with the gods called Abhutarajasas. In the next period, Vishnu was born of
Vikunthi, as Vaikuntha, along with the deities called Vaikunthas. In the
present Manwantara, Vishnu was again born as Vamana, the son of Kas'yapa by
Aditi. With three paces he subdued the worlds, and gave them, freed from all
embarrassment, to Purandara. These are the seven persons by whom, in the
several Manwantaras, created beings have been protected. Because this whole
world has been pervaded by the energy of the deity, he is entitled Vishnu, from
the root Vis, 'to enter' or 'pervade;' for all the gods, the Manus, the seven
Rishis, the sons of the Manus, the Indras the sovereigns of the gods, all are
but the impersonated might of Vishnu.
