Markandeya mentions the gods, rishis and kings in the Svaroch'isha Manvantara.
Markandeya spoke:
1 Then the adorable god made the Prajapati named Svarochisha Dyuti-mat a Manu. Listen to his Manv-antara; who
2 weree the gods during that period, who were the munis and their sons, who were the princes, listen while I tell of them, O Kraushtuki.
3 The gods in that period were the Paravatas and also the Tushitas. O brahman; and in Svarocisha's period the
4 Indra was famed as Vipashchit. Urja, Tamba and Prana, Dattoli and Rishahha, Nischara and ch'arva-virat were the seven
5 rishis in that period. And seven sons had that high souled Manu, Ch'aitra, Kim-purusha, &c., very valiant, guardians of
6 the earth. So long as his Manv-antara lasted, all this earth was enjoyed among the outspreadings of his family. That was the second Manv-antara.
7 Now the man who hears of Sva-rocis' deeds and Svaro cisha's birth, and believes them, is delivered from his sins.
