O learned brāhmaṇa, please describe how the leader of all the demigods, namely the Prajāpati, Brahmā, decided to establish the various Manus, the heads of the ages. Please describe the Manus also, and please describe the descendants of those Manus.

Purport

The human race, or manuṣya-sara, descends from the Manus, sons and grandsons of the Prajāpati, Brahmā. The descendants of Manu reside in all the different planets and rule all the universe.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Please describe all that Brahmā created: Prajāpatis, the various types of creation and sub-creations, and the Manus, who are lords of the Manvantara periods. Having a similar mind to Parīkṣit, Vidura asks questions on the same subjects as Parīkṣit until the end of the chapter. Prajāpatīnām patiḥ is Brahmā. There are ten divisions of creation (sargān). Anusargān means subdivisions of those divisions.
