Translation
O King, during the eighth Manvantara, the great personalities Gālava, Dīptimān, Paraśurāma, Aśvatthāmā, Kṛpācārya, Ṛṣyaśṛṅga and our father, Vyāsadeva, the incarnation of Nārāyaṇa, will be the seven sages because of their dedication to the Lord. For the present, they are all residing in their respective hermitages.
Gālava, Dīptimān, Paraśurāma, Aśvatthāmā, Kṛpā, Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, and Vyāsadeva will be the seven sages of the eighth manvantara — and they currently reside in their āśramas. Future cosmic functionaries are present persons already. The future is being prepared now.
Reflection Questions
  • Whom do I know who may be preparing now for a role they will hold across ages?
  • What present residence in 'my āśrama' is actually preparation for a much later assignment?
