Sūta said:: The following six are the Manus of the past viz. Svāyambhuva Manu at the outset; then Svārociṣa Manu, then Uttama, Tāmasa, Raivata and Cākṣuṣa. I shall mention the eight (Manus) of the future (four of whom are) Sāvarṇi, Raucya, Bhautya and Vaivasvata. I shall narrate these (later on) before Vaivasvata Manu. The five Manus of the past—know them to be Mānasas (Mental Sons).
