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, one is not sure, belongs to this Vaivasvata Manu.
Or are we talking about the first Manu, Swayam bhuba Manu’s Rules?
