Explanation

In Hindu cosmology, Vaivasvata Manu (also known as Shraddhadeva or Satyavrata) is the progenitor of the current Manvantara, which is the seventh Manvantara. He is the son of Vivasvan (the Sun God) and is considered the current Manu who presides over the present epoch. Each Manvantara is ruled by a different Manu, and we are currently in the Vaivasvata Manvantara.
