79.1
Mārkaṇḍeya said: / The Ādityas, Vasus, Rudras, Sādhyas, Viśves, and the troops of Maruts, / the Bhṛgus and the Aṅgirases are remembered as the eight classes of gods therein.
79.2
The Ādityas, Vasus, and Rudras are to be known as sons of Kaśyapa; / the Sādhyas, Maruts, and Viśves are the three classes that are sons of Dharma.
79.3
The Bhṛgus are divine sons of Bhṛgu, and [the Aṅgirases] are sons of Aṅgiras. / And this creation from the descendant of Marīci is to be known as the current authority.
79.4
And Indra is named Ūrjasvin, magnanimous, the enjoyer of sacrificial shares. / Those who were in the past, those who are yet to come, and those who exist at present—
79.5
all those lords of the thirty [gods] are to be known as having identical marks: / all are thousand-eyed, thunderbolt-bearers, and shatterers of strongholds;
79.6
all are Maghavans, bulls, horned, and riding on elephants; / all are of a hundred sacrifices, possessing splendor that subdues created beings,
79.7
endowed with qualities of sovereignty through pure causes such as dharma, / lords of what has been, what will be, and what is. Hear about these three, twice-born one:
79.8
this terrestrial world is remembered as the earth; the atmosphere is remembered as the sky; / and the celestial realm is heaven: thus the triple world is spoken of.
79.9
Atri, Vasiṣṭha, the great ṛṣi Kāśyapa, / Gautama, Bharadvāja, Viśvāmitra, also known as Kauśika,
79.10
likewise the lordly son of the noble Ṛcīka, / Jamadagni: these are the seven munis in this manvantara.
79.11
Ikṣvāku, Nābhaga, Dhṛṣṭa, Śaryāti, / the renowned Nariṣyanta, and Nābhāgāriṣṭa,
79.12
Karūṣa, Pṛṣadhra, and the world-renowned Vasumān— / these nine are proclaimed as the sons of Vaivasvata Manu.
79.13
"This manvantara of Vaivasvata has been told to you by me, brahmin. / When a man hears this or recites it, best of men, / he is immediately freed from all sins and attains great merit."
79.13.p1
Thus ends the seventy-ninth chapter, entitled "The Proclamation of Vaivasvata," in the Sāvarṇika Manvantara of the glorious Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa.
