Translation

Sarvatejā, also called Cakṣu, begot a son named Cākṣuṣa Manu in his wife Ākūti. Naḍvalā, the queen of Cākṣuṣa Manu, gave birth to sons without passion: Puru, Kutsa, Trita, Dyumna, Satyavān, Ṛta, Vrata, Agniṣṭoma, Atīrātra, Pradyumna, Śibi and Ulmuka. Sarvatejā, called Cakṣu, begot a son named Cākuṣa Manu. It is said: ṣaṣṭhaś ca cakṣuṣaḥ putraś cākṣuṣo nāma vai manuḥ pūru-pūruṣa-sudyumna-pramukhāś cākṣuṣātmajāḥ The son of Cakṣu known as Cākṣuṣa was the sixth Manu. He had many sons, headed by Pūru, Pūruṣa and Sudyumna. SB 8.5.8

Personal Guidance

Sarvatejā's son Cākṣuṣa became the sixth Manu; his many sons bear the names of yajña-elements (Agniṣṭoma, Atīrātra). When the head of a lineage is a Manu, the children carry sacrificial significance even in their names.

Reflection Questions

What 'name' does the head of my family carry, and what destinies does it press upon the next generation?
Where could I name something newly arrived in my life in a way that calls forth its higher potential?
