TRANSLATION
The son of Manu was Iksvaku. When Manu was sneezing,
Iksvaku was born from Manu’s nostrils. King Iksvaku had one
hundred sons, of whom Vikuksi, Nimi and Dandaka were the most
prominent.
PURPORT
According to Sridhara Svami, although the Bhagavatam (9.1.11-12)
has previously included Iksvaku among the ten sons begotten by Manu in
his wife Sraddha, this was a generalization. It is here specifically ex-
plained that Iksvaku was born simply from the sneezing of Manu.
