Devoted to the dharma of yoga, the seven roamed at Lake Mānasa: / Padmagarbha, Aravindākṣa, Kṣīragarbha, Sulocana, / Ūrubindu, Subindu, and Haimagarbha as the seventh, / great-souled ones born as swans in the waters of Mānasa. / Sumanas, Suvāk, Suśuddha, Tattvadarśin, Tattvavit, / Sunetra, and Suhotra—these were the twice-born by their names. / All those chaste students, birds roaming at will, / continually subsisting on wind and water, emaciated their bodies.
