In the story of Manu, what was it about Manu that pleased the god Brahma so much?

Answer 1

Answer:

B: Manu’s religious feelings.

Explanation:

In this story, Manu is a man, the king of Dravida, before the great flood. Manu is told that the flood is coming, and that he needs to build a boat that carries the Vedas, Manu's family and the seven sages to safety. This revelation was given to Manu because the god Brahma was very pleased with Manu's religious feelings.

Answer 2

The fish grew to big for the lake and then for the ocean, the fish told manu that a great flood was coming his way and that he needed to round up every pair of animal into a large boat and wait for the water to lower. The fish in this story is the God Brahma and he was very pleased with Manu's great learning and knowledge. The correct option is D.
