One of the subjects the Markandeya Purana deals with in depth is the Manvantaras. One mahayuga consists of one cycle of the four yugas. A cycle of 71 mahayugas is called a manvantara. Each manvantara is ruled by a Manu. The first manvantara was ruled by Swayambhav Manu. The Markandeya Purana narrates the stories of the births of many of the Manus.
