jāto rucer ajanayat suyamān suyajña ākūti-sūnur amarān atha dakṣiṇāyām loka-trayasya mahatīm aharad yad ārtiṁ svāyambhuvena manunā harir ity anūktaḥ

Translation

The Prajāpati first begot Suyajña, in the womb of his wife Ākūti, and then Suyajña begot demigods, headed by Suyama, in the womb of his wife Dakṣiṇā. Suyajña, as the Indradeva, diminished very great miseries in the three planetary systems [upper, lower and intermediate], and because he so diminished the miseries of the universe, he was later called Hari by the great father of mankind, namely Svāyambhuva Manu.
