In Hindu mythology, Vaivasvata appears as the Indian [[Noah]], and various legends relate how he was saved from a great deluge. [[Helena P. Blavatsky|Helena Blavatsky]] called him “the progenitor of our fifth race, who saved it from the flood that nearly exterminated the fourth race.” She specifies further that each manu “has to become the witness of one of the periodical and ever-recurring cataclysms (by fire and water in turn) that close the cycle of every Root-race.<ref>Helena Blavatsky, ''Collected Writings'', vol. 4: 1882–1883 (Wheaton, Ill.: Theosophical Press, 1969), pp. 577, 578.</ref>
Na mitologia hindu, Vaivasvata aparece como o [[Special:MyLanguage/Noah|Noé]] indiano, e várias lendas relatam como ele foi salvo de um grande dilúvio. [[Special:MyLanguage/Helena P. Blavatsky|Helena Blavatsky]] referiu-se a ele como “o progenitor da quinta raça, à qual salvou do dilúvio que quase exterminou a quarta raça”. Ela explicou, ainda, que cada manu “deve testemunhar um dos periódicos e recorrentes cataclismos” (que acontecem, pelo fogo e pela água, de maneira alternada) “que encerram o ciclo de toda raça-raiz”.<ref>Helena Blavatsky, Collected Writings, vol. 4 Wheaton, III: Theosophical Publishing House, 1959, p. 40-41.</ref>499


In his book ''The Masters and the Path'', C. W. Leadbeater describes Vaivasvata as “a kingly figure,... the tallest of all the Adepts, being six feet eight inches in height, and perfectly proportioned. He is the Representative Man of our race, its prototype, and every member of that race is directly descended from Him. The Manu has a very striking face of great power, with an aquiline nose, a full and flowing brown beard and brown eyes, and a magnificent head of leonine poise.... He is living at present in the Himalaya mountains.”<ref>C. W. Leadbeater, ''The Masters and the Path'' (Adyar, Madras, India: Theosophical Publishing House, ca.1959), pp. 40–41.</ref>
