The 5th Manvantara in Hinduism is called the Raivata Manvantara. It is said to have lasted for 306,720,000 years, and was ruled by Raivata Manu. The Saptarishis (seven sages) of this Manvantara were Havishman, Sukriti, Satya, Apammurtti, Nabhaga, Apratimaujas, and Satyaket. The Indra of this Manvantara was Ṛtudhāman.
According to the Vishnu Purana, Raivata Manu was the son of Rudra. He was a great king and a wise ruler. He was also a devotee of Vishnu, and he is said to have attained moksha (liberation) at the end of his life.
The Raivata Manvantara is said to have been a time of great peace and prosperity. The earth was fertile and abundant, and the people were happy and content. However, this Manvantara also came to an end, as all Manvantaras do. The earth was eventually destroyed by a great flood, and the cycle of creation began anew.
Here are some of the key events that took place during the 5th Manvantara:
- The birth of the Saptarishis
- The reign of Raivata Manu
- The destruction of the earth by a great flood
The 5th Manvantara is a significant period in Hindu mythology. It is a time of great peace and prosperity, but it is also a time of great change. The end of the 5th Manvantara marks the beginning of a new cycle of creation, and it is a reminder that the universe is constantly evolving.
