TRANSLATION.
(Verse 4.) From this (lotus) arose that Padmasana, who, having accumulated the power of rajas, because he had dwelt long in its interior, accomplished the creation of the animate and inanimate world, (and) who, in order to create companions, seemed to produce many creators, when he touched the images reflected in the jewels of the hoods of the snake (which formed) the couch of the husband of Sri."
(V. 8.) Then there was in his (i.e. Manu's) family an illustrious ruler of the earth, king Sagara, who by his own sons made the ocean an everlasting receptacle of the aggregate of (his)
fame.
(V. 9.) In this (family) was Bhagiratha, who led to the earth the heavenly Sarasvati that produced wonders of poets like Vâlmiki for the glorification of the solar race.
