Quotes:Vaivaswata

H. P. Blavatsky

Vaivaswata. The name of the Seventh Manu, the forefather of the post‐diluvian race, or our own fifth humankind. A reputed son of Sûrya (the Sun), he became, after having been saved in an ark (built by the order of Vishnu) from the Deluge, the father of Ikshwâku, the founder of the solar race of kings. (See “Sûryavansa”.)
