Abhūtarajas (Deva-gaṇa of the Raivata Manvantara)
Abhūtarajas · a-bhūta-rajas, “those in whom rajas has not arisen”
The Abhūtarajas are a gaṇa (host) of devas of the Raivata manvantara, the fifth manvantara, the age of Raivata Manu. Lomaharshaṇa, the Sūta, names them, together with the gaṇa called Prakṛti, when the munis ask him to tell the manvantaras.
In the Raivata manvantara
The saptarshis in the time of Raivata Manu were Devabāhu, Yadudhra, Vedaśiras, Hiraṇyaroma, Parjanya, Ūrdhvabāhu, son of Soma, and Satyanetra of the line of Atri. “Here the deva-gaṇas are Abhūtarajas and Prakṛti,” the Sūta says.
The sons of Raivata in that fifth manvantara were Pāriplava, Raibhya, Dhṛtimān, Avyaya, Yukta, Tattvadarśī, Nirutsuka, Araṇya, Prakāśa, Nirmoha, Satyavāk and Kṛti.
The Sūta says of the names of the manvantaras that one who wakes at dawn and praises them gains happiness, prosperity and fame, and is blessed with long life and good fortune.
