He is the Supreme Self (paramātmā) for yogis who focus their minds on absorption. He is the knower of the field (kṣetrajña) for those who practice Sāṅkhya and Yoga. He is also the lord of Vedic rituals (yajña) for those who perform them.

Manu, whose doubts concerning all affairs (artha) were completely dispelled, became the son of that Vishnu, the Lord, the Creator (Vedhas), who holds the authority of the Sun (Surya).

O Brahmin, the lord of the manvantara (a cosmic epoch), whose seventh period of rule (manvantara) it is, [had sons like] Ikṣvāku, Nābhaga, and Ariṣṭa, each possessing great strength and valor.

Nariṣyanta, and then Nābhāga, Pṛṣadhra, and Dhṛṣṭa also – these are the sons of that Manu, who were the protectors of their respective separate kingdoms.

All of them were of renowned fame, and all were proficient in weapons (śastra) and missiles (astra). Therefore, Manu, desiring an even more distinguished son, again...

And the best among the accomplished (Manu) performed a sacrifice (iṣṭi) to Mitra and Varuṇa. O great sage, in that offering, due to a mistake (apācāra) by the hotṛ priest...

A slender-waisted daughter named Ilā was born to Manu. Having seen that daughter born there, Manu then...

He praised Mitra and Varuṇa and spoke this statement: 'By your grace, may I have a distinguished son!'

A daughter was born to me, the wise one, at the completion of a Vedic ritual (makha). If you both, the bestowers of boons (varada), are pleased, then this is my daughter.

11.
By your grace, let a son endowed with excellent qualities be born! When 'So be it' was spoken by those two gods, that very daughter...
इला समभवत्सद्यः सुद्युम्न इति विश्रुतः ।

punaḥ ca īśvara-kopeṇa mṛgayām aṭatā vane
punaḥ ca īśvara-kopeṇa mṛgayām aṭatā vane
12.
Ilā immediately became the renowned Sudyumna. Later, due to Īśvara's (Shiva's) anger, while he was hunting in the forest,
स्त्रीत्वमासादितं तेन मनुपुत्रेण धीमता ।
पुरूरवसनामानं चक्रवर्तिनमूर्जितम् ॥१३॥

...womanhood was attained by that wise son of Manu. (As a woman, Ilā then gave birth to) a mighty emperor named Purūravas,
जनयामास तनयं यत्र सोमसुतो बुधः ।
जाते सुते पुनः कृत्वा सोऽश्वमेधं महाक्रतुम् ॥१४॥

14.
There, Budha, the son of Soma, begot a son. After that son was born, he again performed the great horse-Vedic ritual (aśvamedha).

Having attained manhood, Sudyumna became a king. Sudyumna had three sons: Utkala, Vinaya, and Gaya.

16.
His three sons, who were born as men (puruṣa), were greatly valorous and powerful sacrificers (yajvin).
बुभुजुस्ते महीमेतां धर्मे नियतचेतसः ।
स्त्रीभूतस्य तु यो जातस्तस्य राज्ञः पुरूरवाः ॥१७॥
स्त्रीभूतस्य तु यो जातस्तस्य राज्ञः पुरूरवाः ॥१७॥
17. bubhujuste mahīmetāṃ dharme niyatacetasaḥ .

strībhūtasya tu yaḥ jātaḥ tasya rājñaḥ purūravāḥ
strībhūtasya tu yaḥ jātaḥ tasya rājñaḥ purūravāḥ
17.
Those [sons] ruled this earth, with their minds fixed on natural law (dharma). But Purūravā, the one who was born when that king had become a woman, (did not obtain a great share).
न स लेभे महाभागं यतो बुधसुतो हि सः ।
ततो वसिष्ठवचनात्प्रतिष्ठानं पुरोत्तमम् ॥१८॥
ततो वसिष्ठवचनात्प्रतिष्ठानं पुरोत्तमम् ॥१८॥
18. na sa lebhe mahābhāgaṃ yato budhasuto hi saḥ .

tato vasiṣṭhavacanātpratiṣṭhānaṃ purottamam.
18.
na saḥ lebhe mahābhāgam yataḥ budhasutaḥ hi saḥ
tataḥ vasiṣṭhavacanāt pratiṣṭhānam puruttamam
tataḥ vasiṣṭhavacanāt pratiṣṭhānam puruttamam
18.
He did not obtain a great share, because he was indeed the son of Budha. Then, by the instruction of Vasiṣṭha, he received Pratiṣṭhāna, the chief of cities.
