TRANSLATION
The son of Manu was Iksvaku. When Manu was sneezing, Iksvaku was born from Manus nostrils. King Iksvaku had one hundred sons, of whom Vikuksi, Nimi and Dandaka were the most prominent.
PURPORT
According to Sridhara Svami, although the Bhagavatam (9.1.1112) has previously included Iksvaku among the ten sons begotten by Manu in his wife Sraddha, this was a generalization. It is here specifically explained that Iksvaku was born simply from the sneezing of Manu.
