Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: In Ramyaka-varṣa, where Vaivasvata Manu rules, the Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared as Lord Matsya at the end of the last era [the Cākṣuṣa-manvantara]. Vaivasvata Manu now worships Lord Matsya in pure devotional service and chants the following mantra.

Translation
In Ramyaka-varṣa, Vaivasvata Manu, the ruler of the land, even now worships in pure devotional service the dear form of Matsya who revealed himself to Manu previously. He chants the following mantra. He revealed himself at the end of the Cākṣuṣa Manvantara when there was a flood. Saḥ refers to Vaivasvata Manu.
