message: This important map http://restorationlibrary.org/library_restoration/AOBH/AOBH_016_A.jpg can be used to track descendants of Manu and this map http://www.jesus-kashmir-tomb.com/sitebuilder/images/Map_to_Graves-691x418.jpg support the future research. Some of Manu's descendants are life in Java and Bali. That's why Indonesian archipelago also called Nusantara derived from the word Nu. Human beings called Manungsa in Javanese-speaking (Sanskrit roots) or Manusia in Bahasa Indonesia. Manu or Mnu or Nuh or Nu are the same word just like Noah. Western researcher missed the word Nu as Mu (lost continent) a mythical continent in the Pacific Ocean. Central Java are full of ancient Hindu-Buddhist temple Candi of Indonesia. A character in Javanese mythology Semar who frequently appears in wayang shadow plays are full philosophy of Manu Smrti  --Bocah anon (talk) 01:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Works ascribed to the Manus 

message: Manu "A term referring to the first man, or to archetypal man. It is also the name or title of fourteen mystical rulers of the earth. According to Hindu myths and cosmological stories in the PURANAS and other texts, brahma, creator of the world, also has a beginning and an end. One lifetime of his is known as a mahakalpa, at the end of which there is a mahapralaya, or great deluge. One day of his is known as a kaipa. A kalpa consists of fourteen manvantaras, each presided over by a Manu.
The names of the fourteen Manus in each kalpa are usually given as: (1) Svayambhuva: he was born from Brahma, after Brahma had divided himself into a male and a female. His two sons were Uttanapada and Priyavarta. The ten great maharishis or Prajapatis were born from him. (2) Svarochisha: he was the son of Priyavarta. However, according to the MARKANDLYA PUR an A, he was the son of the apsara Varuthini and a gandharva. (3) Uttama (Autlami), who was another son of Priyavarta. (4) Tamasa, another son of Priyavarta. (5) Raivata, another son of Priyavarta. (6) Chakshusha, the son of Anga; or the son of Ripu, grandson of DHRUVA (7) Vaivasvata, the son of Surya or vivasvat ; (8) Sava mi or Savarna, the son of surya by chhaya; (9) Dakshasavarni or Dakshasavarna; (10) BrahmasavarniorBrahmasavama;(l 1 )Dharmasavarni or Dharmasavarna; (12) Rudrasavarni or Savarna, the son of RUDRA; (13) Rauchyadevasavarni; (14) Indr.isnvnrni nr BhaiitvM nr Uh;inmi"
So ruler would be ok, but not king. Doug Weller talk 15:10, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title or name, quote from source used 

message: There appears to be an inconsistent spelling of the Manu names found in the "List of Manus according to Source" table and the sections that follow. Even within some of the sections, spelling differs from the section label.
* S[v|w]ayambhuva
* S[v|w]arocisha
* C[h]akshusha
* [Surya] Savarni
* etc.
I would suggest picking the more popular spelling, preferably spelled out as it sounds (i.e. "Cha" and not "Ca"). Add a "also spelled ..." statement to their respective sections and linked pages for alternative spellings? Jroberson108 (talk) 16:51, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
