In the Uttama manvantara
In the time of Uttama Manu the ṛshis were the seven sons of Vasishṭha, the Vāsishṭhas. “The sons of Hiraṇyagarbha were the Ūrjas,” the Sūta says. The ten sons of the Manu were Isha, Ūrjas, Tanūrja, Madhu, Mādhava, Śuci, Śukra, Saha, Nabhasya and Nabha, and the devas were the Bhānus.
