2.  tata ḥ saptama ākūtyā ṁ rucer yajño 'bhyajāyata sa yāmādyai ḥ sura-ga ṇ air apāt svāyambhuvāntaram The seventh incarnation was Yajña, the son of Prajāpati Ruci and his wife Ākūti. He controlled the period during the reign of Svāyambhuva Manu and was assisted by demigods such as His son Yāma. Text 12

3.   The administrative posts occupied by the demigods for maintaining the regulations of the material world are offered to the highly elevated pious living beings. When there is a scarcity of such pious living beings, the Lord incarnates Himself as Brahmā, Prajāpati, Indra, etc., and takes up the charge.  During the period of Svāyambhuva Manu (the present period is of Vaivasvata Manu) there was no suitable living being who could occupy the post of Indra, the King of the Indraloka (heaven) planet. The Lord Himself at that time became Indra.  Assisted by His own sons like Yama and other demigods, Lord Yajña ruled the administration of the universal affairs. Yajña incarnation

5.  a ṣṭ ame merudevyā ṁ tu nābher jāta urukrama ḥ darśayan vartma dhīrā ṇ ā ṁ sarvāśrama-namask ṛ tam The eighth incarnation was King Ṛṣ abha, son of King Nābhi and his wife Merudevī. In this incarnation the Lord showed the path of perfection, which is followed by those who have fully controlled their senses and who are honored by all orders of life. Text 13

6.   The renounced order of life, or the order of sannyāsa, is considered the highest of all, and a sannyāsī is constitutionally the spiritual master for all the orders and divisions.  ku ṭ īcaka, bahūdaka, parivrājakācārya, and paramaha ṁ sa. The paramaha ṁ sa stage of life is the highest stage of perfection.  Mahārāja Ṛṣ abha, the son of King Nābhi and Merudevī, was an incarnation of the Lord, and He instructed His sons to follow the path of perfection by tapasya.  Those who have been trained for abstinence in material pleasures are called dhīra, or men undisturbed by the senses.  Only these dhīras can accept the orders of sannyāsa, and they can gradually rise to the status of the paramaha ṁ sa.  King Ṛṣ abha propagated this mission, and at the last stage He became completely aloof from the material bodily needs, which is a rare stage not to be imitated by foolish men, but to be worshiped by all. King Ṛṣ abha incarnation

8.  ṛṣ ibhir yācito bheje navama ṁ pārthiva ṁ vapu ḥ dugdhemām o ṣ adhīr viprās tenāya ṁ sa uśattama ḥ O brāhma ṇ as, in the ninth incarnation, the Lord, prayed for by sages, accepted the body of a king [P ṛ thu] who cultivated the land to yield various products, and for that reason the earth was beautiful and attractive. Text 14

9.   Before the advent of King P ṛ thu, there was great havoc of maladministration due to the vicious life of the previous king, the father of Mahārāja P ṛ thu.  The intelligent class of men (namely the sages and the brāhma ṇ as ) not only prayed for the Lord to come down, but also dethroned the previous king.  Whenever there is some negligence on the part of the king in discharging his duty, the intelligent class of men must dethrone him.  The intelligent class of men, however, do not occupy the royal throne, because they have much more important duties for the welfare of the public.  Mahārāja P ṛ thu excavated many produces from the earth, and thus not only did the citizens become happy to have such a good king, but the complete sight of the earth also became beautiful and attractive. King P ṛ thu incarnation

10.  The Sanatkumaras preached Prithu about devotion to Vishnu Prithu chasing Prithvi, who is in the form of a cow

11.  rūpa ṁ sa jag ṛ he mātsya ṁ cāk ṣ u ṣ odadhi-samplave nāvy āropya mahī-mayyām apād vaivasvata ṁ manum When there was a complete inundation after the period of the Cāk ṣ u ṣ a Manu and the whole world was deep within water, the Lord accepted the form of a fish and protected Vaivasvata Manu, keeping him up on a boat. Text 15

12.   According to Śrīpāda Śrīdhara Svāmī, the original commentator on the Bhāgavatam, there is not always a devastation after the change of every Manu. And yet this inundation after the period of Cāk ṣ u ṣ a Manu took place in order to show some wonders to Satyavrata.  But Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī has given definite proofs from authoritative scriptures (like Vi ṣṇ u-dharmottara, Mārka ṇḍ eya Purā ṇ a, Hariva ṁ śa, etc.) that there is always a devastation after the end of each and every Manu.  Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī has also supported Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, and he (Śrī Cakravartī) has also quoted from Bhāgavatām ṛ ta about this inundation after each Manu.  Apart from this, the Lord, in order to show special favor to Satyavrata, a devotee of the Lord, in this particular period, incarnated Himself. Matsya incarnation
