Translation
O King, the ninth Manu will be Dakṣa-sāvarṇi, who is born of Varuṇa. Among his sons will be Bhūtaketu, and Dīptaketu.
The ninth Manu will be Dakṣa-sāvarṇi, born of Varuṇa, with sons Bhūtaketu and Dīptaketu. Each manvantara has its named ruling family, born of specific divine parents. Cosmic administration runs by lineage.
