Medhya

Medhya

Medhya is one of the ten sons of Svāyambhuva Manu, the Manu of the first manvantara.

The first manvantara

The munis ask Lomaharshaṇa about the manvantaras, and the Sūta tells them. In the time of Svāyambhuva Manu the saptarshis were Marīci, Atri, Aṅgiras, Pulaha, Kratu, Pulastya and Vasishṭha, the sons of Brahmā, who dwell in the northern direction. The ten sons of Svāyambhuva were Āgnīdhra, Agnibāhu, Medhya, Medhātithi, Vasu, Jyotishmān, Dyutimān, Havya, Sabala and Putra.
