Chapter 13: Description of Future Manus

(7) In brief I explained the seven changes of Manus, now I'll also tell you about the future Manus empowered by the energy of Vishnu [see 8.1 & 5].


Chapter 14: The System of Universal Management

(3) The Manus and others in charge of the universal affairs are, o King, inspired by the Lord of Sacrifice Yajna and the other incarnations of the Supreme Personality that I have already discussed.


Chapter 15: Bali Mahârâja Conquers the Heavenly Places

(10-11) Surrounded by his own men and the other daitya leaders who equaled him in opulence, strength and beauty, was it as if they drank the sky burning the directions with their looks. Gathering the greatest asura warriors went they to the supremely wealthy capital of Indra as shaking the entire earth.


Chapter 16: Aditi Initiated into the Payo-vrata Ceremony, the Best of All Sacrifices

(54) O pious lady, all of them and also the brahmins as far as possible and the rest assembled there, should receive the prasâda of the rich food of goodness [B.G. 17: 8] prepared with milk and ghee.


Chapter 17: The Supreme Lord Agrees to Become Aditi's Son

(4) Before her appeared, my best, the Supreme Lord, the Original Person, dressed in yellow, with His four arms, conch, cakra, club and lotus flower.


Chapter 18: Lord Vâmanadeva, the Dwarf Incarnation

(14) When He from Brhaspati in ceremony received His sacred thread was for the sungod the Gâyatri [see note ** 5.7] chanted and offered Kasyapa Him a belt [of straw, signifying the twiceborn status].
