महर्षयः सप्त पूर्वे चत्वारो मनवस्तथा । मद्भावा मानसा जाता येषां लोक इमाः प्रजाः ॥ ६ ॥
maharṣhayaḥ sapta pūrve chatvāro manavas tathā mad-bhāvā mānasā jātā yeṣhāṁ loka imāḥ prajāḥ
Translation
The seven great sages of old and the four Manus, born of my mind and sharing my nature — from them came all these creatures of the world.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
सात महर्षिजन, चार उनसे भी पूर्व में होने वाले सनकादि तथा स्वायम्भुव आदि चौदह मनु — ये मुझमें भाव वाले सब-के-सब मेरे संकल्प से उत्पन्न हुए हैं, जिनकी संसार में यह संपूर्ण प्रजा है।
Commentary
The ancient progenitors of humanity — the seven great rishis and the Manus — were born from God's mind. All human lineages trace back to them, and through them to God.
