gaṇāstvete trayaḥ khyātā devātānāṃ mahātmanām| ekaikastriṃśatasteṣāṃ gaṇastu tridivaukasām||
Sūta said:: In the eleventh Manvantara of the third Sāvarṇa, the groups of Devas will be the following three, namely Nirvāṇaratis, Kāmagas (? Vihaṅgama in Verse 75) and Manojavas. These three sets of noble-souled Devatās are well-known. Each of those groups of heaven-dwellers consists of thirty Devas. The thirty days of the month, the poets know, as the set of Devas named Nirvāṇaratis and the thirty nights are Vihaṅgamas (Kāmagas). Manojavas who had been mentioned as the third set of Devatās will be the Muhūrtas. Thus the Devas have been recounted.
