And Gotama's own son, the Gautama named Śaradvat, and Kauśika, and Gālava, Ruru, and Kāśyapa too — these seven great-souled ones will be the best of sages. (HV 7.44) Three qualities of the gods were there declared by the Self-existent. They are the sons of Mārīca, of the great-souled Kaśyapa; and these, equal to Brahmā, blessed, are remembered as the seven seers. By high birth, by austerity, and by mantras and grammar, the stainless brahmin-seers are remembered as established in the world of Brahmā. Those by whom knowledge of past, future, and present was awakened of themselves; who are renowned through austerity, assembled, deep thinkers; and who by mantras, grammar and the rest and by lordship are (accomplished) in every way — knowing these to be sustained (?) and their final observances and their names, a twice-born (knows) that these seven are remembered as the seven seers by reason of seven qualities: long-lived, makers of mantras, lords, far-seeing, having dharma directly present to their intellect, and founders of lineages. In all the ages called Kṛta and the rest, again and again, they set in motion the classes and the stages of life in every way — the seven seers, of great fortune, devoted to truth and dharma. And those born in their line are born again and again, makers of mantras and brāhmaṇas, when dharma has grown slack. And because the seven are givers of boons, and others are reckoned lower than others, therefore neither time nor age is the measure in the making of a seer. This summary account of the seven seers has been explained to you by me, O king. Hear now of the sons of the Manu Sāvarṇa who are to come, O best of men. And because by connection they are self-luminous and self-awakened, and because they utter Brahman, therefore they are remembered as brahmin-seers. Varīvān and Avarīvān, Saṃmata, Dhṛtimān, Vasu, Cariṣṇu, Āḍhya, Dhṛṣṇu, Vājī, and Sumati — these ten will be the sons of the Manu Sāvarṇa, O Bhārata. (HV 7.45) With patience, O king, hear of the Sāvarṇas to come, O Bhārata. By rising at dawn and reciting these, a man's happiness increases, he obtains very great fame, and becomes long-lived. In the fourteenth Manu to be, (there are) Uraga, Gambhīra, Budhnaka; the sons, and the Cākṣuṣa gods, and the ascetics beginning with Śukra. A man (who recites the names) of the great seers past and to come, always... (HV 7.46) Five troops of gods are declared, O bull of the Bharatas. Taraṃgabhīru, Vapra, Tarasvān, and Ugra; Abhimānin, Pravīra, Jiṣṇu, Saṃkrandana, Tejasvin, and Sabala — these are the sons of the Manu Bhautya. When the reign of Bhautya is complete, the kalpa is fulfilled. Thus have the Manus past and to come been recounted by me. Having made obeisance, a brahmin would win heaven — there is no doubt here; a kṣatriya conquers his foes; a vaiśya and a śūdra (obtain) as they wish. By them this earth, my dear, with its oceans and its towns, is even today guarded on all sides, each in his own region. For a full thousand ages it is to be guarded by lords of men, by their subjects and by austerity, and constantly at the end of a dissolution.

These fourteen Manus, increasers of fame, have been proclaimed. In the Vedas together with the Purāṇas they are all mighty; they are lords of creatures, O king, and the proclaiming of them is blessed.

There the gods remain as a remnant, together with the brahmin-seers, endowed with austerity, chastity and sacred learning. But when a thousand ages are complete, the kalpa is called one that leaves no remnant.

There all beings, burnt up by the sun's rays, with Brahmā at their head, together with the hosts of suns, O lord — (HV 7.53) they enter Yoga, the god who is lord of yogins, unborn, knower of the field, unfallen, best of gods, Hari Nārāyaṇa the lord, the creator of all beings again and again at the ends of the kalpas. Unmanifest and eternal is that god; all this world is his. (HV 7.54) Then night comes on, when all is one single ocean, and (there is) sleep in Nārāyaṇa's belly for a thousand years of Brahmā. Just so much time is called that night, at the end of which the Grandfather attains the state of sleep. And when that night has passed away, encompassing a thousand ages, then the lord Brahmā, grandfather of the worlds, awakens, and being filled again with the desire to create, he sets his mind to creation. That same is tradition; this is the ancient lore, that is what happened, that is what he did; the stations of the gods are the very same, and only the sequence is reversed. Then all beings are burnt by the sun's rays — gods, seers, yakṣas, gandharvas, piśācas, serpents and rākṣasas — and they are born again, my dear, in the (new) age, O best of the Bharatas. As in each season the marks of the season appear in manifold forms in the round, and those very same are seen (again), so it is in the nights of Brahmā. Prajāpati, the maker of creatures, having come forth, without doubt (creates); and those who are the Mānava gods and all the great seers — they, come together, of pure association, constantly through the emission of dharma, do not come to be again, my dear, in the (same) age, O best of the Bharatas. All that (proceeds) by the yoking of sequence: the lord, who knows the divisions of the reckoning of time, having made a day that is the reckoning of a thousand ages, and having made a night ending with a thousand ages, the blessed all-pervading one then withdraws beings and creates them again and again — the great god, manifest and unmanifest, Hari Nārāyaṇa the lord. Here I shall relate to you the emission of the present Manu Vaivasvata, O best of the Bharatas, of great splendour.
