Sraddha Deva son of Vivasvat or Surya is the seventh Manu. He is
reigning at present. Ikshvaku, Nabhaga, Dhrishta, Saryati, Narishyanta,
Nabhaga, Dishta, Tarusha, Prishadhra, and Vasumat are his ten sons.
The Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Visvadevas, the Maruts, the
Asvini-kumaras and the Ribhus are the Devas. Purandara is their Indra.
Kasyapa, Atri, Vasistha, Visvamitra, Goutama, Jamadagni and Bharadvaja
are the seven Rishis.
The Avatara of this Manvantara is Vamana, the youngest son of Aditi by
Kasyapa.
