[Vol. VI. No. 1
This genealogy does not show Manu's name, though it does
show Yim and his three brothers. We do not know why Manu's
name is not mentioned. Of course, Manu is not the proper name
of that person, but only his generic title of king-ship and, we do
not know what his proper name was. Sometimes, he is called
In Bg,
艢r膩ddhadeva, but that can hardly be his proper name.
he is called Satyavrata, but that whole story of Bg, is of late
origin and Bg has changed the names of the localities of the flood
and taken the scene of the flood from North India to South India.
Therefore, we cannot be sure about the name Satyavrata. Thus,
though this Iranian genealogy does not mention Manu as such and
though we do not know if we can identify one of the three
brothers of Yim with Manu, there can be hardly any doubt about
the genealogy being that of Manu. This is Yim's genealogy.
Both Yim and Manu are known to be Vivasvat's sons, and Yim is,
here, described as the son of Vivanghan, which phonetically equates
with Vivasvan. But it may be objected that in this genealogy,
Vivasvan's or Vivanghan's father's name is not given as Ka艣yapa;
for Yanghad or Ananghad can never phonetically equate with
Kasyapa. To this objection, I have to say this. It is true that the
Puranas call Kasyapa to be the father of Vivasvat, but it is also
true that the same Pur膩峁嘺s describe Kasyapa as the son of Marici,
who was Brahma's m盲nasa son, and the same Pur膩峁嘺s put Manu
Vaivasvata at the 15th or 18th step from 叠谤补丑尘腻, who is
Svayambhuva Manu. Kasyapa is 3rd from 叠谤补丑尘腻, Manu 15th
or 17th from Brahma. How can this be?
This can be explained by saying that Vivasvan was not
actually the son of Kasyapa but was a descendent of his. If so,
Ka艣yapa must be shown at one or the other step amongst the
ancestors of Vivasvat. Let us consider. This Iranian list begins
with Gayomard. Is Gayomard the same as 叠谤补丑尘腻? I do not
think so.
I equate Gayomard, who is also spelt as Gaya Maretan,
Gaya Maratan, with Gaya M膩rta峁囜笉a. We know that Ka艣yapa,
by Aditi, had a son, who was called M盲rtanda and who was
identified with the Sun. I think that above Maretan or Maratan

or Mard is the same as M膩rta峁囜笉a. I would, therefore, say that
Kasyapa's son's name was Gaya, who was also called Martanda
and accordingly I would re-arrange the genealogy thus:-
叠谤补丑尘腻
1. Ka艣yapa
2. Gayomard or Gaya Martanda
3. Mashya
4. Siyakmak
5. Fravak
6. Hoshyang鹿
7. Ananghad
8. Ayanghad
9. Vivanghan
10. Yim
10 Manu
Thus taking from Kasyapa and dropping Takhmorup, who
is expressly called Yim's brother, we get Yim's number to be 10th.
We have one more genealogy preserved in Bundahis. It is
said that Dahak with Spitur cut up Yim. Now Dahak's genea-
logy from the father's and father-in-law's side is given as under:-

1. I may say that it is possible to equate Hoshyang with Kasyapa.
Hoshyang is also spelt as Haoshyangh. Now s is represented by h in the
Iranian (ep. Sind-Hind). Therefore, Hosh yang can be soshyang. Again s
and k interchange (The palatal law) and so this can be Koshyangh. Now
angh=asva=aspa is Kashyangh Kashyapa and thus we may get Kasyapa
out of Hoshyang.
