kaviḥ kanīyān viṣayeṣu niḥspṛho
kaviḥ kanīyān viṣayeṣu niḥspṛho
visṛjya rājyaṁ saha bandhubhir vanam
niveśya citte puruṣaṁ sva-rociṣaṁ
viveśa kaiśora-vayāḥ paraṁ gataḥ
Being reluctant to accept material enjoyment, Manu's youngest son, whose name was Kavi, gave up the kingdom, and when still of kaiśora age, went to the forest with his friends. Thinking of the self-effulgent Supreme Lord within the core of his heart, he attained the Lord.
Kavi also had no descendents. He gave up the kingdom with his friends and entered the forest.

dhṛṣṭād dhārṣṭam abhūt kṣatraṁ
brahma-bhūyaṁ gataṁ kṣitau
nṛgasya vaṁśaḥ sumatir
bhūtajyotis tato vasuḥ
From the son of Manu named Dhṛṣṭa came a kṣatriya caste called Dhārṣṭa, whose members achieved the position of brāhmaṇas in this world. Then, from the son of Manu named Nṛga came Sumati. From Sumati came Bhūtajyoti, and from Bhūtajyoti came Vasu.
Brahma-bhūyam means they attained the position of brāhmaṇas. Nṛgasya vaṁśaḥ means son of Nṛga.

vasoḥ pratīkas tat-putra
oghavān oghavat-pitā
kanyā caughavatī nāma
sudarśana uvāha tām
The son of Vasu was Pratīka, whose son was Oghavān. Oghavān's son was also known as Oghavān, and his daughter was Oghavatī. Sudarśana married that daughter.
Oghavat-pitā means “whose father was Oghavān.” Thus the son was also named Oghavān.
