Canto LXVII - About the Svārociṣa Manvantara (concluded)
Mārkaṇḍeya mentions the gods, ṛṣis and kings in the Svārociṣa Manvantara.
Mārkaṇḍeya spoke:
Then the adorable god made the Prajāpati named Svārociṣa Dyutimat a Manu. Listen to his Manvantara; who were the gods during that period, who were the munis and their sons, who were the princes, listen while I tell of them, O Krauṣṭuki.
The gods in that period were the Pārāvatas and also the Tuṣitas. O brāhman; and in Svārociṣa’s period the Indra was famed as Vipaścit. Ūrja, Tamba and Prāṇa, Dattoli and Ṛṣabha, Niścara and Cārvavīrat were the seven ṛṣis in that period. And seven sons had that high souled Manu, Caitra, Kimpuruṣa, &c., very valiant, guardians of the earth. So long as his Manvantara lasted, all this earth was enjoyed among the outspreadings of his family. That was the second Manvantara.
Now the man who hears of Svarocis’ deeds and Svārociṣa’s birth, and believes them, is delivered from his sins.
