After this, I shall recite the names of those foremost Rishis who are known as Manavas. They are Yavakrita, and Raibhya and Arvavasu, and Paravasu, and Aushija, and Kakshivat, and Vala the son of Angirasa. Then is Kanwa the son of the Rishi Medhatithi, and Varishada.
अत ऊर्ध्वं प्रवक्ष्यामि मानवानृषिसत्तवान्॥ यवक्रीतश्च रैभ्यश्च अर्वावसुपरावसू। औशिजश्चैव कक्षीवान् बलश्चाङ्गिरसः सुतः॥ ऋषिर्मेधातिथेः पुत्रः कण्वो बर्हिषदस्तथा।
