 SB 9.1.1
sri-rajovaca
manvantarani sarvani
tvayoktani srutani me
viryany ananta-viryasya
hares tatra krtani ca

Translation:
King Pariksit said: My lord, Sukadeva Gosvami, you have elaborately described all the periods of the various Manus and, within those periods, the wonderful activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who has unlimited potency. I am fortunate to have heard all of this from you.

SB 9.1.2-3
yo 'sau satyavrato nama
rajarsir dravidesvarah
jñanam yo 'tita-kalpante
lebhe purusa-sevaya
sa vai vivasvatah putro
manur asid iti srutam
tvattas tasya sutah prokta
iksvaku-pramukha nrpah

Translation:
Satyavrata, the saintly king of Dravidadesa who received spiritual knowledge at the end of the last millennium by the grace of the Supreme, later became Vaivasvata Manu, the son of Vivasvan, in the next manvantara [period of Manu]. I have received this knowledge from you. I also understand that such kings as Iksvaku were his sons, as you have already explained.
