Manu

Manu — the mental being; same as Manu Prajapati; each of the fourteen manifestations of Manu Prajapati governing the manvantaras of a pratikalpa; each of “the four Type-Souls from whom all human Purushas are born”.

“On earth Manu incarnates fourteen times in each Kalpa & each of these fourteen incarnations is called a Manu. These fourteen Manus govern human destinies during the hundred chaturyugas of the Prati-Kalpa, each in turn taking charge of a particular stage of the human advance. While that stage lasts he directs it both from the mental world and by repeated incarnations upon earth. When Manu Prajapati wishes to incarnate in a fresh form, he has a mental body prepared for him by evolution of births by a human vibhuti, Suratha or another & takes possession of it at the beginning of his manvantara.”
