O King.
O King Parīkṣit, among the ten sons of Manu are Ikṣvāku, Nabhaga, Dhṛṣṭa, Śaryāti, Nariṣyanta and Nābhāga. The seventh son is known as Diṣṭa. Then come Tarūṣa and Pṛṣadhra, and the tenth son is known as Vasumān.

Translation
O King Parīkṣit! Among the ten sons of Vaivasvata Manu are Ikṣvāku, Nabhaga, Dhṛṣṭa, Śaryāti, Nariṣyanta and Nābhāga. The seventh son is known as Diṣṭa. Then come Tarūṣa and Pṛṣadhra, and the tenth son is known as Vasumān.
Ten sons of the present Manu, each named — Ikṣvāku, Nabhaga, Dhṛṣṭa, Śaryāti, and others. Genealogies are not boring data; they are reminders that real persons stood at every link of dharma's continuation. We inherit a lineage.
Reflection Questions
  • Whose names in my own spiritual lineage have I forgotten or never bothered to learn?
  • What lineage am I currently a link in — and what would those before me ask of me?
