Description

Brahmā said, “In the meantime, O celestial sage, on hearing of the incident I, the grandfather of the worlds, came there. I consoled Dakṣa as before. Clever that I was, I made him friendly with you. O best of sages, I consoled you—my own son, beloved of the devas, and taking you with love, effected conciliation. Then Dakṣa, consoled by me, begot of his wife sixty comely daughters. Without any lassitude he performed their marriages with Dharma and others. O excellent sage, listen to that with pleasure. Dakṣa gave ten of his daughters duly in marriage to Dharma, thirteen to Kaśyapa the sage, and twenty-seven to the Moon. He gave two daughters each to Bhṛgu, Aṅgiras and Kṛśāśva. The other daughters were given to Tārkṣya. The sons and grandsons and descendants of these filled the three worlds. A detailed narration is not attempted here. Some say that Śivā was the eldest of his daughters, some say that She was the middle, and some say that She was the youngest. All the three opinions are correct in different kalpas.
