1- manu:-
In Hinduism, Manu is a title accorded the progenitor of mankind, first king to rule this earth, who saves mankind from the universal flood. He is honest which is why he is called "Satyavrata", or oath of truth.

Mahabharata says: "And Manu was endued with great wisdom and devoted to virtue. And he became the progenitor of a line. And in Manu's race have been born all human beings, who have, therefore, been called Manavas. And it is of Manu that all men including Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, and others have been descended, and are, therefore, all called Manavas. Subsequently, O monarch, the Brahmanas became united with the Kshatriyas. And those sons of Manu that were Brahmanas devoted themselves to the study of the Vedas. "The ten sons of Manu are known as Vena, Dhrishnu, Narishyan, Nabhaga, Ikshvaku, Karusha, Saryati, the eighth, a daughter named Ila, Prishadhru the ninth, and Nabhagarishta, the tenth. They all betook themselves to the practices of Kshatriyas. Besides these, Manu had fifty other sons on Earth. But we heard that they all perished, quarrelling with one another."[1]

(got it from wikipedia)

2-iksvaku and 3 Vikuksi-Sasada:-
The son ofManu was Ik?vaku.When Manu was sneezing, Ik?vaku was born from
Manu's nostrils. King Ik?vaku had one hundred sons, of whom Vikuk?i, Nimi and
Da??aka were the most prominent.Of the one hundred sons, twenty-five became kings in the western side of Aryavarta,
a place between the Himalaya and Vindhya mountains. Another twenty-five sons
became kings in the east of Aryavarta, and the three principal sons became kings in
the middle. The other sons became kings in various other places.
During the months of January, February and March, oblations offered to the
forefathers are called a??aka-sraddha.The sraddha ceremony is held during the dark
fortnight ofthe month.When Maharaja Ik?vaku was performing his oblations in this
ceremony, he ordered his son Vikuk?i to go immediately to the forest to bring some
pure flesh.Thereafter, Ik?vaku's son Vikuk?i went to the forest and killed many animals suitable
for being offered as oblations. But when fatigued and hungry he became forgetful
and ate a rabbit he had killed.Vikuk?i offered the remnants ofthe flesh to King Ik?vaku, who gave it to Vasi??ha for
purification. But Vasi??ha could immediately understand that part ofthe flesh had
already been taken by Vikuk?i, and therefore he said that it was unfit to be used in.When King Ik?vaku, thus informed by Vasi??ha, understood what his son Vikuk?i had
done, he was extremely angry.Thus he ordered Vikuk?i to leave the country because
Vikuk?i had violated the regulative principles.Having been instructed by the great and learned brahma?a Vasi??ha, who discoursed
about the Absolute Truth, Maharaja Ik?vaku became renounced. By following the
principles for a yogi, he certainly achieved the supreme perfection after giving up
his material body.After his father's disappearance,Vikuk?i returned to the country and thus became the
king, ruling the planet earth and performing various sacrifices to satisfy the Supreme

Personality ofGodhead.Vikuk?i later became celebrated as Sasada.
i got it from srimad bhagavatam 😛

4- kakutstha:-The son of Sasada was Purajaya, who is also known as Indravaha and sometimes
as Kakutstha. Please hear from me how he received different names for different
activities.Formerly, there was a devastating war between the demigods and the demons. The
demigods, having been defeated, accepted Purajaya as their assistant and then
conquered the demons. Therefore this hero is known as Purajaya, "he who
conquered the residence of the demons."Purajaya agreed to kill all the demons, on the condition that Indra would be his
carrier. Because of pride, Indra could not accept this proposal, but later, by the order vishnu agreed Well protected by armor and desiring to fight, Purajaya took up a transcendental
bow and very sharp arrows, and, while being highly praised by the demigods, he got
up on the back of the bull [Indra] and sat on its hump. Thus he is known as
Kakutstha. Being empowered by Lord Vi??u, who is the Supersoul and the Supreme
Person, Purajaya sat on the great bull and is therefore known as Indravaha.
Surrounded by the demigods, he attacked the residence of the demons in the west.the Supreme Lord,Vi??u, Indra did accept it and became a great bull carrier for
Purajaya.There was a fierce battle between the demons and Purajaya. Indeed, it was so
fierce that when one hears about it one's hairs stand on end. All the demons bold
enough to come before Purajaya were immediately sent to the residence of
Yamaraja by his arrows.To save themselves from the blazing arrows of Indravaha, which resembled the
flames of devastation at the end of the millennium, the demons who remained when
the rest of their army was killed fled very quickly to their respective homes.After conquering the enemy, the saintly king Purajaya gave everything, including
the enemy's riches and wives, to Indra, who carries a thunderbolt. For this he is
celebrated as Purajaya. Thus Purajaya is known by different names because of his
different activities.
