Sanskrit Original
धर्मपुत्रा महाभागाः साध्या ये द्वादशामराः। पूर्वं समनुसूयन्ते चाक्षुषस्यान्तरे मनोः।।
dharmaputrā mahābhāgāḥ sādhyā ye dvādaśāmarāḥ| pūrvaṃ samanusūyante cākṣuṣasyāntare manoḥ||
Sūta said:: The twelve Devas of great dignity and splendour, sons of Dharma and named Sādhyas, were to have been born in the Cākṣuṣa Manvantara. In the Svārociṣa Manvantara, they were the Devas of great prowess named Tuṣitas. They spoke to one another—“when there is a little balance of Cākṣuṣa Manvantara (?) (rather Svārociṣa?), we shall enter this lady of noble dignity (of the) Sādhyā herself and shall be born in the (Cākṣuṣa) Manvantara. That will be conducive to our excellence (and beatitude) After saying thus, those twelve Devas were born of (Sādhyā) and Dharma, the descendant of the seīf-born lord.
