Prasuti gave birth to several daughters including Khyati, Anasuya amongst many, and Akruti gave birth to one son named Yajna and one daughter. Devahuti was given in marriage to sage Kardama and she gave birth to nine daughters, and a single son named Kapila. He had three daughters, namely Akruti, Devahuti and Prasuti. He was the mind born son of the god Brahma, and husband of Shatarupa. The current Kalpa has the following Manus: There are fourteen Manus that rule in succession during each Kalpa (day of Brahma). It is similar to other floods such as those associated with Gilgamesh and Noah. The tale is repeated with variations in other texts, including the Mahabharata and a few other Puranas. He was warned of the flood by the Matsya (fish) avatar of Vishnu, and built a boat that carried the Vedas, Manu's family and the seven sages to safety, helped by Matsya. Vaivasvata was the king of Dravida before the great flood. The current universe, is asserted to be ruled by the 7th Manu named Vaivasvata. Later, in the Hindu cosmology, each kalpa consists of fourteen Manvantaras, and each Manvantara is headed by a different Manu. The Indo-Aryans considered all other peoples to be a-manuṣa. In the earliest mention of Manu, in the Rigveda, Manu is only the ancestor of the "Five Peoples", or "Páñca Jánāḥ" (the five tribes being the Anus, Druhyus, Yadus, Turvashas, and Purus). The title of the text Manusmriti uses this term as a prefix, but refers to the first Manu – Svayambhuva, the spiritual son of Brahma.
In later texts, Manu is the title or name of fourteen Kshatriya rulers of earth, or alternatively as the head of dynasties that begin with each cyclic kalpa (aeon) when the universe is born anew. The Sanskrit term for 'human', मानव ( IAST: mānava) means 'of Manu' or 'children of Manu'. In early texts, it refers to the archetypal man, or to the first man ( progenitor of humanity). Manu ( Sanskrit: मनु) is a term found with various meanings in Hinduism. Matsya protecting Vaivasvata Manu and the seven sages at the time of Deluge/Great Flood
