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.
