THE LIVING ARCHIVE
About Raivata Manu
His sons include Arjuna, Bali and Vindhya. Their place in this genealogy does not identify them as the Pandava Arjuna or Virochana’s son Bali.
The Bhutarayas are among the gods. Hiranyaroma, Vedashira and Urdhvabahu are named among the sages, while Vibhu holds the heavenly kingship. These offices surround, rather than duplicate, Raivata’s responsibility as Manu.
