Narration of all Manvantaras

सर्वमन्वन्तरानुकीर्तनं नाम चतुर्त्रिंशोऽध्यायः
Narration of all Manvantaras – Chapter 34



सूत उवाच |
Suta Goswami said (to sage Shaunaka)



स्वायंभुवो मनुश्चैव ततः स्वारोचिषस्तथा |
उत्तमस्तामसश्चैव रैवतश्चाक्षुषस्तथा || 2 ||
एते च मनवः षट् ते संप्रोक्ता मुनिपुङ्गव |
वैवस्वतो मुनिश्रेष्ठ सांप्रतं मनुरुच्यते || 3 ||
Svayambhuva Manu, and then Svarochisha, and Uttama, and Tamasa, and Raivata and Chakshusha -
And the best sage, these are said to be those six Manus. Best sage, the present Manu is said to be Vaivaswata (born of the Sun - Vivasvaan).

Seven more are to come, of which the next one is Savarni Manu.
