The seven great sages, the four ancient ones before them, and the Manus (first fathers of humankind) were born from my mind and share my nature. From them come all the creatures of this world.

सात महर्षि, उनसे पहले के चार प्राचीन ऋषि, और मनु (मानव जाति के आदि पिता) मेरे मन से उत्पन्न हुए और मेरे ही भाव से युक्त हैं। संसार के सब प्राणी उन्हीं से आए हैं।
