During Svāyambhuva’s period, the Tuṣitas were the devatās, Marīci and others were the sages, and Yajña was the head of the devatās. Svāyambhuva Manu's two sons, Priyavrata and Uttānapāda, became very powerful, and their sons and grandsons were active during that period. Incidentally, six types of beings who preside during that Manvantara are described in two verses. It will be explained later: manvantaraṁ manur devā manu-putrāḥ sureśvaraḥ ṛṣayo 'ṁśāvatāraś ca hareḥ ṣaḍ vidham ucyate In each reign of Manu, six types of personalities appear as manifestations of Lord Hari: the ruling Manu, the chief devatās, the sons of Manu, Indra, the great sages and the partial incarnations of the Supreme Lord. SB 12.7.15 In this verse the total comes to six because Svāyambhuva was Manu and Yajña took the role of Indra and the avatāra of the Lord.
