śrī-rājovācadevāsura-nṛṇāṁ sargonāgānāṁ mṛga-pakṣiṇāmsāmāsikas tvayā proktoyas tu svāyambhuve ’ntare
Translation:
The blessed King said to Śukadeva Gosvāmī: My dear lord, the demigods, demons, human beings, Nāgas, beasts and birds were created during the reign of Svāyambhuva Manu. You have spoken about this creation briefly [in the Third Canto]. Now I wish to know about it elaborately. I also wish to know about the potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead by which He brought about the secondary creation.
