इति तं बहु सन्दिश्य मनुः पुत्रं समाधिना । जगाम त्रिदिवं हृष्टो ब्रह्मलोकं सनातनम् ॥ 7-79-11 ॥

Having thus instructed his son at length, Manu, joyful, departed through deep meditation to the third heaven, the eternal world of Brahma.

When Manu had gone to the third heaven, Ikshvaku of measureless splendor became absorbed in anxious thought, wondering, "How shall I beget sons?"

By various rites of many kinds, the son of Manu, that righteous-souled one, begot a hundred sons, each the equal of the sons of the gods.
