sumedhasastatra devāstathā bhūpatayo dvija /
vaikuṇṭhaścāmitābhaśca caturdaśa caturdaśa //
Hear most composedly, O brāhman, about the gods, the munis, the lord of the gods and the kings in his manvantara, as I mention them. The gods therein were the Sumedhases. And the kings were Vaikuṇṭha and Amitābha, fourteen and fourteen, O brāhman. And now the lord of those very four classes of gods was named Vibbu, who was the regarder of a hundred sacrifices, O king. Hiraṇya-loman, Veda-śrī, and also Ūrddhva-bāku, Vedabāhu, and Sudhāman and the great muni Parjanya, and illustrious Vaśiṣṭha who was thoroughly versed in the Vedas and Vedānta—these were the seven ṛṣis also in Manu Raivata’s period. Bala-bandhu mighty in valour, and also Suyaṣṭavya, and Satyaka and others were Manu Raivata’s sons.
