[1]In the Markandeya Purana, Ananda, the son of sage Anamitra, is stated to be the previous incarnation of Chakshusha Manu.
As a child, he was carried by a cat to the cradle of a prince, whose father was King Vikranta.
During the child's sacred thread ceremony, when the king asked Ananda to prostrate before his mother, the child declared his true identity, leaving to perform a penance in the forest.
Brahma appeared before Ananda and blessed him to be reborn as Chakshusha Manu in his subsequent birth.
[3] The Vishnu Purana states that Chakshusha Manu married Nadvala, the daughter of Prajapati Vairaja, from whom he sired ten sons: Kuru, Puru, Shatadyumna, Tapasvi, Satyavan, Shuchi, Agnishtoma, Atiratra, Sudyumna, and Abhimanyu.
