O holy  brāhmaṇa , O sinless one, you have spoken of his daughter, known by the name Devahūti, as the wife of the sage Kardama, the lord of created beings.
PURPORT
Here we are speaking of Svāyambhuva Manu, but in  Bhagavad-gītā  we hear about Vaivasvata Manu. The present age belongs to the Vaivasvata Manu. Svāyambhuva Manu was previously ruling, and his history begins from the Varāha Age, or the millennium when the Lord appeared as the boar. There are fourteen Manus in one day of the life of Brahmā, and in the life of each Manu there are particular incidents. The Vaivasvata Manu of  Bhagavad-gītā  is different from Svāyambhuva Manu.
