Names of the remaining seven (future) manvantaras of this day of Brahma

8 Saavarni ------------------->

9 Daksha-saavarni

10 Brahma-saavarni

11 Dharma-saavarni

12 Rudra-saavarni

13 Deva-saavarni

14 Indra-saavarni
after which cosmic night will follow

The next Manu (i.e., the eighth) will be Saavarni. This promise was made by Mother Goddess to one King Suratha during the second Manvantara. To him (and another) the triple story of Mother Goddess is narrated in the Devi-bhagavatam ( also Chandi or Durg A-saptasati ). The story begins from a mythological event that happened after the end of the last kalpa (= day of Brahma) and ends up by forecasting the feats of Mother Goddess that are yet to happen in this kalpa. One such is the prediction that Suratha will be born as Manu Saavarni.

I got this information from here.😳

https://www.indiaheritage.org/rendez/article1.htm

So basically, Lord Vishnu was pleased with Bali Chakravarthy's greatness but still had to punish him for wanting to make the demons the Kings of the world (because then adharma would prevail over dharma), so he pushed Bali into patal lok but then gave him a boon that due to his good deeds, he would become the Indra of the next manvantara (8th one).

The name 'Indra' is only a title. Each Indra has his own name and each manvantara has a different Indra.

Does anyone know the name of the current Indra?
