manvantarāṇāṃ santāne santānāśca śrutau smṛtāḥ.
atikrāntayugāścaiva brahmakṣatrasya sambhavāḥ .. 273.62
Thus at the close of each Manvantara, these (two) immortal Kṣatriyas and (seven) Brâhmanas who cross over from one Yuga to another (in their full consciousness), are called Santânas in the Śruti or founders of future human races. They become the origins of (the future) Brâhmaṇas and Kṣatriyas.—63
