10.6 Born of my mind Krishna speaks
महर्षयः सप्त पूर्वे चत्वारो मनवस्तथा
मद्भावा मानसा जाता येषां लोक इमाः प्रजाः
maharṣhayaḥ sapta pūrve chatvāro manavas tathā
mad-bhāvā mānasā jātā yeṣhāṁ loka imāḥ prajāḥ
The seven great seers, the four before them, and the Manus, are born of my mind, and from them these creatures of the world.
Explanation
Born of my mind, and then everything from them.
The seven great seers, the four before them, the Manus — and from them these creatures.
A genealogy in one line, with the same shape as 4.1's: not manufacture but descent. The world arrives through a lineage of minds rather than by construction.
