Vasu has other meanings too: see all meanings of Vasu.

Vasu is one of the sons of Sāvarṇi Manu, the Manu of a manvantara still to come. He is not Vasu the son of Svāyambhuva Manu, nor Vasu the son of Uttānapāda.

In its account of the manvantaras, the Brahma Purāṇa turns from the present age, the Vaivasvata manvantara, to the ages to come. In the time of Sāvarṇi Manu, seven ṛshis will hold the place of the saptarshis: Rāma, Vyāsa, Aśvatthāmā, Ajara, Śaradvān, Gālava and Aurva. The sons of Sāvarṇi Manu are Vairi, Adhvarīvān, Śamana, Dhṛtimān, Vasu, Arishṭa, Adhṛshṭa, Vāji and Sumati.
