DevahCiti heard all this from Kapila. Her doubts were all re-
moved and she found the light within herself. She remained fixed in
meditation as long as her Prarabdha was not exhausted. She then
attained Mukti.
Kapila first went towards the North. The sea then gave Him
place, where He still lies in deep Samadhi, for the peace of Triloki.
(Ganga Sagar or Saugor is said to be the seat of Kapila).
THE GENEALOGY OF MANU AND THE RISHIS.
SKANDHA IV. CHAP. i.
In every Manvantara, there are one Manu, sons of Ma-
nu, Devas, Indra or king of the Devas, seven Rishis and one
Avatara of Vishnu. The Avataras of Purusha propel Manu and
others to their work. At the end of every cycle of 4 Yugas, the
Rishis by their Tapas find out the lost Srutis and revive the old
Dharma. The Manus propound the Dharma. The sons of Manu in-
cluding their descendants and others preserve the Dharma, in their
respective times, to the end of the Manvantara. The Devas help them
in their work. Indra preserves the Triloki and sends down rains"
VIII. 14.
In the Svayambhuva Manvantara, Svayambhuva was Manu, the
Tushita Devas were the Devatas, Marichi and others were the seven
Rishis, Yajna was both Avatara and Indra. Priyavrata and Uttan-
pada were the two sons of Manu.
