*SKANDHA VIII. CHAP. 1.*
The third Manu is Uttama, son of Priya Vrata. Pavana, Srinjaya,
Yajnahotra and others were his sons. The sons of Vasistha, Pramada and
others, were the seven Rishis.
Satya, Veda Sruta, and Bhadra were the Devas. Satyajit was Indra.
Dharma had by Sunrita one son named Satya-Sena. He was the Avatara of
this Manvantara. He was born with others called Satya-Vrata. He killed
wicked Yakshas and Rakshasas given to falsehood, and Bhutas who injured
others.
[The characteristic mark of this Manvantara which is the first half of
the second Round is Truth. Satya or Truth enters into the names of one
class of Devas, of the Indra and of the Avatara. The name of the
Avatara's mother was also truth. The Yakshas and Rakshasas were given to
falsehood].
