Parents of Kalki

In this connection we find in the Padma Purana (6.242.8-12) the prediction that Lord Kalki will be born in the town of Shambala near the end of Kali-yuga from a brahmana and Wife who is actually an incarnation of Svayambhuva Manu and Wife. It is described that Svayambhuva performed austerities at Naimisa on the bank of the Gomati River for acquiring the privilege of having Lord Vishnu as his son in three lifetimes.

Lord Vishnu, being pleased with Svayambhuva, granted the blessing that He would appear as Svayambhuva's son as Lord Rama, Krishna, and Kalki. Thus, Svayambhuva and wife would appear as Dasaratha, Vasudeva, and then Vishnuyasha - Kaushalya,Devaki and then Sumati Respectively.
