Source: Shatapatha Brahmana, Vedic text (circa 8th–6th century BCE, translated).
Satapatha Brahmana is primary text.
The Satapatha Brahmana is a Vedic ritual commentary linked to the White Yajurveda.
First, Satapatha Brahmana gives me the earliest clear Manu flood narrative: unnamed fish, ship, northern mountain, Manu alone remaining.
In Satapatha Brahmana he alone survives the flood after a fish warns him to prepare a ship.
In Satapatha Brahmana, an unnamed fish saves Manu.
Where did the boat land?In Satapatha Brahmana, Manu is carried to the northern mountain; the slope is called “Alarm’s descent” (Manoravasarpana).
