Part 38 (1/2)

Galava, Diptiman, Parasurama, Asvatthama, Kripa, Rishya Sringa and Vyasa shall be the seven Ris.h.i.+s.

Sarvabhouma, son of Devaguhya by Sarasvati, shall be the Avatara. He shall wrest the kingdom of Svarga Loka from Purandara and make it over to Bali.

(The eighth Manvantara is the Second half of the Fourth Round and should be the spiritual half according to Theosophical ideas. But we find the Asura King Bali, who was removed from the kingdom of Triloki in the Vaivasvat Manvantara, restored to the kingdom of Svarga).

Amongst the Ris.h.i.+s we find Parasurama who fought with Rama and Asvatthama and Kripa who ranged themselves against the Pandava brothers in the battle of Kurukshetra.

All this shews that spirituality was developed out of materiality. The sons of Manu are Nirmoka and Virajaska. _Moka_ is the cast off skin of an animal and may well represent the sthula body. Nirmoka is one without Moka.

Virajaska is without Rajas. So the course of evolution shews a tendency in the first place to cast off the sthula body and to overcome the Rajas.
