Prabhupada, New York, December 22, 1966: […] That is the duration of one Manu. Four billion, three hundred millions divide into fourteen. That will make… That one part is the duration of a Manu.

So anyway, fourteen Manus are taking place in one day of Brahma.

brahmara eka-dine haya caudda manvantara ei caudda avatara tahan karena isvara

They are also incarnation of the Supreme Lord. Caudda eka dine, mase cari-sata bisa. If in one day of Brahma there are fourteen Manus, then in one month of Brahma it comes to cari-sata, 420. Thirty days a month. So 420 Manus in one month of Brahma. Brahmara vatsare panca-sahasra callisa. Similarly, in one year of Brahma there is 5,040 Manus in one year, and he lives for hundred years. So 5,040 Manus in one year. Now hundred. So 5,040 plus two zeroes. So it comes to panca-laksa cari-sahasra manvantaravatara. Panca-laksa means fifty millions. Not fifty millions. Ten millions a laksa. That means five millions and four thousands of Manus are there in one Brahma’s life. Five million and four hundred thousand of manvantaravatara, incarnation of Manu, in one brahmanda. And Lord Caitanya… Ananta brahmande aiche karaha. And there are innumerable brahmandas, universes. Now you can calculate how many Manus are there. Therefore you cannot calculate. He said, “innumerable.”

ananta brahmande aiche karaha ganana maha-visnu eka-svase brahmara jivana

And all these Manus and Brahmas, they are living only on the breathing period of Maha-Visnu. Maha-visnura nisvasera nahika paryanta. And just imagine what is that breathing? Eka manvantaravatarera dekha lekhara anta.

So in one breathing of Maha-Visnu, you cannot calculate how many Manus are there. This is called unlimited. We say “unlimited,” but we should have some knowledge how it is unlimited. Full Lecture
