(1) S'rî S'uka said: 'Thereafter [after he had cursed Nârada] did the son of the Prâcetas, pacified by Lord Brahmâ, in his wife Asiknî beget sixty daughters who were all very fond of their father. (2) Ten of them he gave to king Dharma [Yamarâja], Kas'yapa he gave thirteen, twenty-seven were given to the moon-god and Bhûta, Angirâ and Kris'âs'va he gave each two. The four remaining he gave also to Kas'yapa. (3) Please hear from me the different names of all of them who with their many children and descendants populated the three worlds and from whom you and I are stemming.
(4) The wives of Yamarâja were Bhânu, Lambâ, Kakud, Yâmi, Vis'vâ, Sâdhyâ, Marutvatî, Vasu, Muhûrtâ and Sankalpâ. Now hear of their sons. (5) From Bhânu was born Deva-rishabha and from him was born Indrasena, o King. Vidyota appeared from Lambâ and he made many clouds [of babies]. (6) From Kakud came Sankatha and from him there was the son named Kîkatha from whom there were many protectors of the earth. Yâmi brought Svarga from whom was born Nandi. (7) The Vis'vadevas came from Vis'vâ, but it is said that from them there was no progeny. The Sâdhyas who were born from Sâdhyâ, had one son: Arthasiddhi. (8) Marutvân and Jayanta took birth from Marutvatî. Jayanta was an expansion of Vâsudeva, who thus was known as Upendra. (9) The Mauhûrtikas were the godly born from Muhûrtâ and the lot of them indeed took birth to deliver the living beings the fruit of their own timebound actions. (10-11) From Sankalpâ came Sankalpa and from him was Kâma [lust] born. Vasu gave birth to the eight Vasus and hear now the names of their sons: Drona, Prâna, Dhruva, Arka, Agni, Dosha, Vâstu and Vibhâvasu. From Drona's wife Abhimati there were sons as Harsha, S'oka, Bhaya and more. (12) Of the wife of Prâna, Ûrjasvatî there were Saha, Âyus and Purojava. The births from Dhruva's wife Dharani led to various cities and towns. (13) From the wife of Arka, Vâsanâ there were the memorable sons of Tarsha and so on and from Dhârâ the wife of the Vasu Agni there were the sons known as Dravinaka and so on.

(15) Of Vâstu's wife Ângirasî was there the son Vis'vakarmâ [the great architect] the husband of Âkritî. From them was born the Manu named Câkshusha of whom the sons of Vis'vâ and Sâdhyâ were born [see 7]. (16) Ûshâ of Vibhâvasu gave birth to Vyushtha, Rocisha and Âtapa, the one of whom thereafter Pañcayâma ['the span of day'] was born who awakens the living beings to engage in material activities. (17-18) Sarûpâ, the wife of Bhûta, gave birth to the millions of Rudras and thus are there of the Rudras, Raivata, Aja, Bhava, Bhîma, Vâma, Ugra, Vrishâkapi, Ajaikapât, Ahirbradhna, Bahurûpa, Mahân and others [or other wifes of Bhûta], the associates the ghastly ghosts and Vinâyakas [a type of demons, hobgoblins].

From Patangî originated the different species of birds, from Yâminî came the locusts and after that brought Vinatâ Garuda about, the one regarded as the carrier of Yajña [Vishnu] and Anûru the chariot driver of the god of the sun Sûrya. From Kadrû there were the serpents in their variety. (23) The constellations headed by Krittikâ were of the wives of the moongod, but o son of Bharata, because of a curse of Daksha, had he, pestered by a degenerative disease, no children with them.(24-26) Again pacifying him had Soma in respect of the time factor managed to remove the decay [in the dark fortnight]. Now please take notice of all the names of the mothers, the wives of Kas'yapa from whose places thus set right, this whole universe was born: Aditi, Diti, Danu, Kâshthhâ, Arishthâ, Surasâ, Ilâ, Muni, Krodhavas'â, Tâmrâ, Surabhi, Saramâ and Timi. From Timi appeared the aquatics while the ferocious animals were the children of Saramâ. (27) From Surabhi the buffalo came the cows as well as others with cloven hooves, o King, from Tâmrâ came the eagles and vultures and so on and from Muni there were the groups of angels. (28) From the soul of Krodhavas'â were born the reptiles headed by the dandas'ûka snakes, from Ilâ came the creepers and trees and all the ones of evil were there from Surasâ. (29-31) From Arishthâ there were only Gandharvas and from Kâshthhâ there were the animals whose hooves are not split. From Danu there were sixty-one sons born; hear of the ones important: Dvimûrdhâ, S'ambara, Arishthâ, Hayagrîva, Vibhâvasu, Ayomukha, S'ankus'irâ, Svarbhânu, Kapila, Aruna, Pulomâ and Vrishaparvâ as well as Ekacakra, Anutâpana, Dhûmrakes'a, Virûpâksha, Vipracitti and Durjaya. (32) Suprabhâ, the daughter of Svarbhânu married Namuci so one says, but S'armishthhâ of Vrishaparvâ went to king Yajâti the powerful son of Nahusha. (33-36) There were four very beautiful daughters of Vais'vânara: Upadânavî, Hayas'irâ, Pulomâ and Kâlakâ. Hiranyâksha married Upadânavî and Kratu married Hayas'irâ, o King, but when on the plea of Lord Brahmâ the two daughters Pulomâ and Kâlakâ of Vais'vânara married to the o so mighty prajâpati Kas'yapa, were of them born the Pauloma and Kâlakeya demons who were very fond of fighting. The sixty thousand of them who [headed by Nivâtakavaca] were a disturbance to the sacrifices in the heavenly places, were by your grandfather [Arjuna] killed, o King, just to please Indra. (37) From Vipracitti's wife Simhikâ were born a hundred and one sons who all obtained a planet of their own: Râhu was the eldest and the hundred others were the Ketus. (38-39) Let it now be heard in chronological order how thereafter the dynasty originated from Aditi, wherein Nârâyana, the Lord, by His own plenary expansion descended as the Almighty: Vivasvân, Aryamâ, Pûshâ and Tvashthâ with next Savitâ, Bhaga, Dhâtâ, Vidhâtâ, Varuna, Mitra, S'atru and Urukrama. (40) Of Vivasvân gave the fortunate Samjñâ birth to the Manu called S'râddhadeva as well as to the demigod Yamarâja and his sister Yamî [the river Yamunâ]. She also, having become a mare, gave birth on this earth to the As'vinî-kumâras. (41) Châyâ [another wife of the sungod] got the sons S'anais'cara [Saturn] and Sâvarni the Manu as well and a daughter from him named Tapatî who had Samvarana for her husband. (42) Of the union of Aryamâ with his wife Mâtrikâ were born many scholarly sons among whom Lord Brahmâ created a species of man that was indeed like them. (43) Pûshâ remained childless living on dough as he had his teeth broken because of formerly having shown his teeth laughing at the anger of Daksha [when he insulted Lord S'iva, see 4.5: 21, 4.7: 4]. (44) From the two of Tvashthâ, and the maiden named Racanâ, who was a Daitya daughter, were born the physically very powerful sons Sannives'a and Vis'varûpa. (45) To be in line [with Brahmâ] was Vis'varûpa by the godly, who in disrespect with Brihaspati were abandoned by their spiritual master, accepted as a priest, even though he was the son of a daughter born from enmity.
