TRANSLATION

King Satyavrata was illuminated with all Vedic knowledge by the
mercy of Lord Visnu, and in this period he has now taken birth as
Vaivasvata Manu, the son of the sun-god.

PURPORT

Srila Vigvanatha Cakravarti Thakura gives his verdict that Satyavrata
appeared in the Caksusa-manvantara. When the Caksusa-manvantara
ended, the period of Vaivasvata Manu began. By the grace of Lord Visnu,
Satyavrata received instructions from the second fish incarnation and
was thus enlightened in all spiritual knowledge.
