Original text · English · substantive masculine

Manu, us, m. (Ved.) thought, mental faculty (= manana-śakti); (Ved.) a sacred text, prayer, incan- tation, spell (= mantra, perhaps erroneously thus explained in Mahā-bh. Ādi-p. 52); (Ved.) a man, mankind, as opposed to evil spirits, (in Ṛg-veda III. 60, 3, the Ṛbhus are called the sons of man, ma- nor napātaḥ); the Man par excellence, or the repre- sentative man and father of the human race (regarded in the earlier mythological system as the first to have instituted sacrifices and religious ceremonies; and in Ṛg-veda 1. 139, 9, associated with the Ṛṣis Kaṇva and Atri; in the Aitareya-Brāhmaṇa de- scribed as dividing his possessions among some of his sons to the exclusion of one called Nābhā- nediṣṭha, q. v.; called Sāmvaraṇa as author of Ṛg- veda IX. 101, 10-12; Āpsava as author of Rig-veda IX. 106, 7-9; in the fifth chapter of the Nighaṇ- ṭavas numbered among the thirty-one divine beings of the upper sphere, and as father of men even iden- tified with Prajā-pati; but the name Manu is especially applied to fourteen successive mythical progenitors and sovereigns of the earth, described in the code of Manu 1. 63 and in the later mythology as creating and supporting this world of moving and stationary beings through successive Antaras or long periods of time, see manv-antara, col. 2: the first in order of these Manus is called Svāyambhuva, as sprung from Svayam-bhū, the Self-existent, who being identified with Brahmā, according to one account, divided himself into two persons, male and female, whence was produced Virāj, and from him the first Manu; or who, according to another account, converted himself at once into the first man called Manu Svāyambhuva, and the first woman called Śata-rūpā; this Manu Svāyambhuva is described in Manu 1. 34 as a sort of secondary creator, who commenced the work of creation by producing ten Prajāpatis or Maharṣis, of whom the first was Marici, Light, see prajā-pati; and to this first Manu is ascribed both the celebrated law-book known as the ‘code of Manu,’ see manu-saṃhitā, as well as an ancient Sūtra work on Kalpa or Vedic ritual; he is himself sometimes called Prajā-pati, and rarely Hairaṇya- garbha as son of Hiraṇya-garbha, and Prācetasa as son of Pracetas: the next five Manus in regular succession are called Svārociṣa, Auttami, Tāmasa. Raivata, Cākṣuṣa: the seventh Manu, called Vai- vasvata, Sun-born, is the Manu of the present period; he is held to be the son of Vivasvat or the Sun, who according to Rāmāyaṇa 11. 110, 6, was the son of Kaśyapa, son of Marīci, this latter being described as proceeding directly from Brahmā, and thus adding to the confusion in the different Hindū accounts of the gradation of personages interposed between the Supreme Being and the created world; this seventh Manu, called Vaivasvata, and sometimes, from his piety, Satya-vrata, is regarded as the progenitor of the present race of living beings, and has been com- pared to the Noah of the Old Testament from various legends current in Sanskrit literature of his preser- vation from a great flood by Viṣṇu or, according to some, by Brahmā in the form of a fish: he is also variously described as the son of Āditya or as one of the twelve Ādityas, as the author of the hymns Ṛg-veda VIII. 27-31, as the brother of Yama, who as son of the Sun is also called Vaivasvata, as the founder and first king of Ayodhyā, afterwards reigned over by his son Ikṣvāku, and as father of Ilā who married Budha, son of the Moon, the two great solar and lunar races being thus nearly related to each other; the eighth Manu or first of the future Manus, according to the Viṣṇu-Purāṇa 111. 2, will be Sā- varṇi; the ninth, Dakṣa-sāvarṇi; the tenth, Brahma- sāvarṇi; the eleventh, Dharma-sāvarṇi; the twelfth, Rudra-sāvarṇi; the thirteenth, Raucya or, accord- ing to some, Deva-sāvarṇi; and the fourteenth, Bhautya or Indra-sāvarṇi); (avas), m. pl. the mental faculties; a symbolical expression for the number fourteen; (us), f. Manu's wife (= manāvī); Tri- gonella Corniculata.

The first Manu called svapyaṃbhuvamanu is supposed to be a sort of secondary creator, who produced the ten Prajāpatis or Maharshis and to whom the code of laws known as Manusmṛti is ascribed. The seventh Manu called vaivasvatamanu, being supposed to be born from the sun, is regarded as the progenitor of the present race of living beings and was saved from a great flood by Viṣṇu in the form of a fish, cf. matsyāvatāra; he is also regarded as the founder of the solar race of kings who ruled at Ayodhyā; see U. 6. 18; R. 1. 11. The names of the fourteen Manus in ([Page 0842-b]) order are: 1 svāyaṃbhuva, 2 svārociṣa, 3 auttami, 4 tāmasa, . raivata, 6 cākṣuṣa 7 vaivasvata, 8 sāvarṇi, 9 dakṣasāvarṇi, 10 brahmasāvarṇi, 11 dharmasāvarṇi, 12 rudrasāvarṇi, 13 raucya-daivasāvarṇi and 14 iṃdrasa varṇi. 3 A symbolical expression for the number ‘fourteen’. 4 A man, mankind (opp. evil spirits). 5 Thought, thinking or mental faculty (Ved.). 6 A prayer, sacred text or sped (maṃtra). — nuḥ f.
