TRANSLATION.[4]
(Verse 4.) From this (lotus) arose tha Padmâsana,[5] who, having accumulated the power
of rajas, because he had dwelt long in its interior,[6] accomplished the creation of the animate
and inanimate world, (and) who, in order to create companions, seemed to produce many
creators, when he touched the images reflected in the jewels of the hoods of the snake (which
formed) the couch of the husband of Srî.[7]
(V. 8.) Then there was in his (i.e. Manu’s) family an illustrious ruler of the earth, king
Sagara, who by his own sons made the ocean an everlasting receptacle of the aggregate of (his)
fame.
(V. 9.) In this (family) was Bhagîratha, who led to the earth the heavenly Sarasvatî[8] that produced wonders of poets like Vâlmîki for the glorification of the solar race.
