When Manu was sneezing, Iksvaku was born from Manu's nostrils
Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 9
The son of Manu was Ikṣvāku. When Manu was sneezing, Ikṣvāku was born from Manu's nostrils.
SB 9.6.4, Translation and Purport: The son of Manu was Ikṣvāku. When Manu was sneezing, Ikṣvāku was born from Manu's nostrils. King Ikṣvāku had one hundred sons, of whom Vikukṣi, Nimi and Daṇḍakā were the most prominent.
According to Śrīdhara Svāmī, although the Bhāgavatam (SB 9.1.11-12) has previously included Ikṣvāku among the ten sons begotten by Manu in his wife Śraddhā, this was a generalization. It is here specifically explained that Ikṣvāku was born simply from the sneezing of Manu.
