In this manvantara, the Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared from the womb of Sūnṛtā, who was the wife of Dharma, the demigod in charge of religion. The Lord was celebrated as Satyasena, and He appeared with other demigods, known as the Satyavratas.

Translation
In this Manvantara, the Supreme Lord appeared from the womb of Sūnṛtā, who was the wife of Dharma. The Lord was known as Satyasena and appeared with devatās known as the Satyavratas.
The Lord appears as Satyasena, born of Truth (Dharma) and his wife Sūnṛtā. Truth is the womb from which divinity emerges. A life devoted to honest, kind speech becomes the very environment in which the Lord can make Himself felt.
Reflection Questions
  • How much of my daily speech is sūnṛtā — both truthful and pleasant?
  • Where is dishonesty in my words quietly blocking my experience of the Lord's presence?
