Devi Bhagavata 5th Skanda describes the time period or kala of celestial beings such as Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. As given in Puranic Encyclopedia (Page 326)  

Devi Bhagavata 3rd, 5th and 9th Skandas describe the time period or kalamana of celestial beings such as Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. As given in Puranic Encyclopedia (Page 326, 372) There are 14 Manvantaras during the life of Brahma, and each Manvantara will have its own Manu, Indra and Devatas. Thus 14 Manvantaras make a Kalpa which corresponds to a day in the life of Brahma. Since in every Manvantara one Indra changes, 14 manvantaras will have 14 different Indras. 

There are 14 Manvantaras during the life of the present Brahma, and each Manvantara will have its own Manu, Indra and Devatas.  

Each Manu rules during an eon called a Manvantara. 14 Manvantaras make up a Kalpa, a period corresponding to a day in the life of Brahma. Every Manvantara has 1 Indra that means with every Kalpa 14 Indras changes. Thae Markandye Rishi is said to have a complete age of one Kalpa and in a Puran on his name called "Markandey Puran" the exact age corresponding to the human age or solar year is described in details.

Vishnupurana Chap 3, Part 1 and 2, describes the Kalamana differently. According to it one thousand chaturyugas form one day of Brahma and it has 14 Manus.  

The following list is according to Vishnu Purana 3.1–2):
