Manu is the son of Brahma.
One Manu rules one Manvantara.
There are 14 Manus, each ruling one Manvantara.
One Manvantara lasts (’431,8000 * 4(one Cycle of Chatur Yuga) = 17,27 2000 Years *71 Cycles )= 1226312000 Years.
We are in the Swetavaraha Kalpa.
The Name of the Manu for this Svetavaraha kalpa is Vaivasvata and The Manvantara is Vaivasvatham.
The Manusmriti we talk abut, a not sure belongs to this Vaivasvata Manu.
Or are we talking about the first Manu, Swayam bhuba Manu’s Rules?
