Vaivasvata Manu
The story of Vaivasvata Manu and the great flood is an ancient narrative found in Hindu mythology, specifically within the texts like the "Satapatha Brahmana" and the "Matsya Purana".
Manu once rescued a small fish, which later revealed itself to be the god Vishnu in the form of a fish (Matsya).
As gratitude for saving him, Matsya instructed Manu to build a huge boat.
The boat, tethered to the horn of Matsya, survived the deluge.
