The Pavitras and Cākṣuṣas will be among the demigods, and Śuci will be Indra, the king of heaven. Agni, Bāhu, Śuci, Śuddha, Māgadha and others of great austerity will be the seven sages.

Translation
The Pavitras and Cākṣuṣas will be the devatās, and Śuci will be Indra, the king of heaven. Agni, Bāhu, Śuci, Śuddha, Māgadha and others will be the seven sages.
Tapasvinaḥ means sages.
Personal Guidance
Pavitras and Cākṣuṣas as demigods; Śuci as Indra; Agni, Bāhu, Śuci, Śuddha, Māgadha as great-austerity sages. Even at the last manvantara, austerity defines sage-status. The dharmic constants persist till the end of Brahmā's day.
Reflection Questions
- Am I building any austerity-quality into my practice that would endure as the world ages?
- What habit of mine would still be recognizable as worthwhile at the end of a kalpa?
