Translation
In this particular day of Brahmā, King Satyavrata later became the son of Vivasvān, the king of the sun planet, and was known as Śrāddhadeva. By the mercy of the Supreme Lord, he was given the post of Manu. Though this is not a mahā-kalpa (lifetime of Brahmā), but a day of Brahmā, it is called a mahā-kalpa (great period of time) out of respect for Satyavrata. This is the explanation of the Sandarbha. Others explain this as “during the life time of Brahmā (mahā-kalpa) during this day of Brahmā and not another Brahmā’s lifetime, the son of Vivasvān became the Manu.”

Personal Guidance
Satyavrata later became Vivasvān's son and was named Śrāddhadeva — given the post of Manu by the Lord's mercy. The devotee in one manvantara becomes the Manu of the next. Service compounds into role.
