When Vaivasvata Manu sneezed, Ikṣvāku was born from Manu's nostrils. King Ikṣvāku had one hundred sons, of whom Vikukṣi, Nimi and Daṇḍakā were the most prominent. The dynasty from Ikṣvāku, Manu’s son, was extensive. [Note: Sudyumna, who was born as a daughter and then transformed into a man, and the nine other sons of Vaivasvata Manu have been described already. Now the tenth son, Ikṣvākau is described.] This is now explained. Ikṣvāku was born out of Manu’s nostril when he sneezed. Śrīdhara Svāmī says that when it is said that ten sons were born from Manu’s wife Śraddhā, this is generalization, since Ikṣvāku was actually born from Manu’s nostril.
