In Hindu mythology, Shraddhadeva Manu (Sanskrit ''manuśraddhādeva'') is the current Manu and the progenitor of the current humanity (manvantara). He is the seventh of the 14 manus of the current kalpa (aeon). Shraddhadeva was the king of the Dravida Kingdom before the great flood. Forewarned about the flood by the matsya avatar of Vishnu, he saved the humanity by building a boat that carried his family and the saptarishi to safety. He is the son of Vivasvat and is therefore also known as Manuvaivasvata.〔(The Hare Krsnas - The Manus - Manus of the Present Universe )〕 He is also called ''Satyavrata'' (always truthful). == Ancestry == According to the Puranas, the genealogy of Shraddhadeva is as follows: # Brahma # Marichi, one of the 10 Prajapatis created by Brahma. # Kashyapa, son of Marichi and Kala Bo. Kashyapa is regarded as the father of humanity. # Vivasvat or Surya, son of Kashyapa and Aditi. # Shraddhadeva Manu, originally Satyavrata, son of Vivasvan and Saranyu (Saṃjñā) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shraddhadeva Manu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
