THE FIFTH MANVANTARA.

*SKANDHA VIII. CHAP. 5.*

Raivata was the fifth Manu. He was the brother of Tamasa. His sons were

Arjuna, Bali, Vindhya and others. Vibhu was Indra. Bhuttaraya and others

were the Devas.

The seven Rishis were Hiranya-romay, Vedasiras, Urddhabahu and others.

The presiding deity of Vaikuntha incarnated in partial manifestation as

the son of Subhra and Vikuntha. He was the Avatara of this Manvantara.

[This is the first half of the Third Round. The incarnation of the Lord

of Vaikuntha may have some significance, but what is not clear from the

text.]
