Translation
O King Parīkṣit! In the fourteenth Manvantara the Supreme Lord will appear from the womb of Vitānā and a father named Satrāyaṇa as Bṛhadbhānu, and he will spread karma-yoga.
Personal Guidance
In the fourteenth manvantara the Lord will appear as Bṛhadbhānu, from Vitānā's womb and father Satrāyaṇa, administering spiritual activities. Even at kalpa's end, the Lord appears in named persons with named parents. Particularity to the very last.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I treat the spiritual world as abstract when scripture insists on names down to the final Manu?
- What does this insistence on particularity teach me about how to hold my own particular life?
