The Manus said: O Lord! We, who carry out your orders, have had our laws of varṇāśrama reversed by the son of Diti. The sinner has been killed by you. O master! What can we do for you? Please instruct your servants.
Suddenly receiving the glance of Nṛsiṁha, the Manus with hands folded on their heads say that they are ready to carry out his commands. The Manus refers to those who had already appeared.[112] Setavaḥ means the rules of varṇāśrama.
