In another birth, Ānanda (Ananda) was born out of the eye of Parameṣṭi Brahmā (Parameshti Brahma; the Supreme God Brahma). So he was known as Cākṣuṣa (Chakshusha)Manu.
Cākṣuṣa Manu’s previous name was Ānanda. Rājarṣi (Rajarshi; a king with the attributes of a sage) Anamitra was his father, and mother was Bhadrā. One day, when Bhadrā (Bhadra) was cuddling the baby, he laughed. She asked him the reason of his laughing, and the newborn said that a female cat was sitting in front of him, because she wants to eat him up, a Jātahāriṇī (Jataharini; a she-ghost who takes away newborn babies) was present in the house to capture him, and the mother was cuddling him. But all three were looking for their self-interest, and none is true to their affection. The mother said, she was not showing affection to her son for any hope of reward in return, and she deserted the boy, because he thought in this way. Immediately the Jātahāiṇī kidnapped the boy and took him to the bed of the wife of a king called Vikrānta, and took away that queen’s own child. She again placed this child to another place, in stead of another child, and devoured the last one.
Now, the king Vikrānta (Vikranta)was so happy to have the child, that he named him Ānanda (bliss). At the time of his Upanayana (the ceremony of wearing the sacred thread), the guru asked him to offer his regards to his mother. Ānanda asked him, to which mother he would pay regards, the mother who has given birth to him, or the one who had nurtured him. The guru became astonished, and then Ānanda revealed his identity, also disclosing that king Vikrānta’s own son, named Caitra (Chaitra) was living in the house of a Brāhmaṇa (Brahmana) called Vodha, in the village called Viśāla (Visala). When did not get the answer from the guru, Ānanda thought that he had already received two mothers in this very birth, and if he would have to enter the birth-cycle again and again, how many attachments he would be bound to. So, in order to avoid the bindings of karma that is detrimental to mokṣa ( moksha; ultimate salvation), he went away to perform tapasyā (tapasya; hard ascetic practice), in that tender age. When Brahmā, pleased with his tapasyā, asked him the reason of his asceticism, Ānanda talked about self-purgation and attaining salvation. Brahmā said that, instead of his own salvation, Ānanda would be appointed for a suitable task for him. His salvation would come after creating and ruling people, in the role of Cākṣuṣa Manu. Thus Brahmā dissuaded him from such tapasyā, and he renamed him as Cākṣuṣa Manu. He married Vidarbhā (Vidarbha), daughter of king Ugra, and gave birth to many powerful sons.
