pātāla āste yo 'dyāpi daityaḥ samayabandhanaḥ /
virajāścārvavīraśca nirmohaḥ satyavāk kṛtiḥ /
viṣṇvādyāścaiva tanayāḥ sāvarṇasya manornṛpāḥ //
the Daitya who dwells even today in Pātāla, bound by an agreement. / Virajas, Arvavīra, Nirmoha, Satyavāc, Kṛti, / Viṣṇu, and others will be the sons of Sāvarṇi Manu, rulers of the earth.
And Virajas, and Arvavīra, Nirmoha, Satyavāc, Kṛti, Viṣṇu and others, the sons of Sāvarṇa Manu, shall be kings.
And the Sutapas and Amitābhas and Mukhyas shall be the gods in three divisions; and each group of these three is said[11] to be composed of twenty, and to have the three good qualities. Tapa and Tapas,[12] and Śakra, Dyuti, Jyotis, Prabhākara, Prabhāsa, Dayita, Gharma, Tejas, Raśmi,[13] Vakratu, and so forth are the Sutapas, the twenty-fold group of gods. Prabhu, Vibhu, Vibhāsa and others are likewise another group of twenty. Hear also from me the third group of Amita gods; Dama, Dānta, Ṛta, Soma, and Vinta and the rest are the group of twenty. And these shall be celebrated as Mukhya[14] gods, rulers of the manvantara—they are verily the sons of Mārīca and of the Prajāpati Kāśyapa, and they shall be in the future during Sāvarṇa Manu’s period. Now the lord of them, O muni, shall be Bali Vairocani, the Daitya who dwells in Pātāla at present, bound by a compact.[15]
