Garudapurana 1.6

The glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa — [Chapter] 6 / Hari said: / From Uttānapāda, a son, Uttama, was born of Suruci, / and of Sunīti, a son, Dhruva; he attained an exalted place.

Through the sage's grace, by worshipping the god of gods, Janārdana. / Dhruva's son was Śliṣṭi, of great strength and valour.

His son was Prācīnabarhis, noble-minded; / his son was Divañjaya; his son was known as Ripu.

The son of Ripu was the illustrious Manu Cākṣuṣa; / his son was the illustrious Ruru, and Aṅga was his son.

Aṅga's son was Veṇa, an atheist devoid of dharma; / Veṇa, doing what was unrighteous, was struck down by the sages with kuśa grass.

They churned his thigh for the sake of a son; then a son was born to him: / very short, with black limbs. Thereupon they said, 'Sit down (niṣīda)!'

Hence was born the Niṣāda, who dwells on the Vindhya mountain. / Then the twice-born swiftly churned his right arm;

from it was born his son, bearing the mental form of Viṣṇu, / named Pṛthu; the son of Veṇa went to heaven.

The king milked the earth for the sustenance of his subjects. / Antardhāna was the son of Pṛthu, and Havirdhāna was his son.

Prācīnabarhis was his son, who shone as sole king over the earth; / he indeed married the daughter of the Salt Ocean.

From him, the daughter of the ocean bore ten Prācīnabarhises, / all known as the Pracetases, masters of the science of archery.

Practising common virtues, they performed severe austerities, / lying in the waters of the ocean for ten thousand years.

Having attained the status of Prajāpatis, Māriṣā became their wife / because of the curse of Bhavānī; from her, Dakṣa was born then.

Dakṣa previously created the fourfold progeny by his mind, / but they did not multiply, being frowned upon by Hara.

Then the Prajāpati desired to perform creation through sexual union. / He married Asiknī, the daughter of the Prajāpati Vīraṇa.

A thousand sons were born to him upon the daughter of Vīraṇa; / instructed by Nārada, they went to find the end of the earth and never returned.

When they were lost, Dakṣa created another thousand sons, / the Śabalāśvas; they too went the way of their brothers, O Hara!

Enraged, Dakṣa then cursed Nārada: 'You shall take birth!' / And Nārada was born again as a son of the sage Kaśyapa.

When his sacrifice was ruined, Dakṣa also cursed the fierce Maheśvara: / 'People will praise and worship you with rituals, O Śaṅkara,

yet through enmity even in another birth they shall perish, O Śaṅkara!' / Therefore, one should never harbour enmity with anyone. / Then Dakṣa begot daughters upon Asiknī:

sixty beautiful maidens; two he gave to Aṅgiras, / two he bestowed on Kṛśāśva, and ten on Dharma,

fourteen to Kaśyapa, twenty-eight to Indu. / He gave to Bahuputra Suprabhā and Bhāminī,

Manoramā, Bhānumatī, Viśālā, and Bahudā. / Dakṣa gave four to Ariṣṭanemi, O Mahādeva!

And he gave Suprajā and Jayā to Kṛśāśva. / Arundhatī, Vasu, Jāmī, Lambā, Bhānu, Marudvatī,

Saṅkalpā, Muhūrtā, Sādhyā, and Viśvā—these ten / are proclaimed the wives of Dharma. Now I will speak of Kaśyapa's [wives]:

Aditi, Diti, Danu, Kālā, Anāyus, Siṃhikā, Muni, / Kadrū, Sādhyā, Harā, Krodhā, Vinatā, Surabhi, and Khagā.

From Viśvā were born the Viśvedevas; Sādhyā gave birth to the Sādhyas; / upon Marudvatī, the Marutvants; and from Vasu, the Vasus;

from Bhānu, the Bhānus, O Rudra; and from Muhūrtā, the Muhūrtajas; / from Lambā, Ghoṣa; and Nāgavīthī from Jāmī;

everything belonging to the realm of earth was born of Marudvatī; / and from Saṅkalpā was born the all-pervading Saṅkalpa himself.

Āpa, Dhruva, Soma, Dhara, Anila, Anala, / Pratyūṣa, and Prabhāsa—these are remembered by name as the Vasus.

The sons of Āpa were Vetuṇḍa, Śrama, Śrānta, and Dhvani; / the son of Dhruva was the divine Kāla, the consumer of the worlds;

Soma's son was the divine Varcas, through whom radiant [sons] are born; / Dhara's sons were Druhiṇa and Hutahavyavaha;

upon Manoharā, [he begot] Śiśira, Prāṇa, and Ramaṇa. / Śivā was the wife of Anila; her son was Pulomaja,

and Avijñātagati—these two were the sons of Anila. / The son of Agni was Kumāra, who was born in a clump of reed grass.

His [brothers] were Śākha, Viśākha, and Naigameya, born from his back; / as the offspring of the Kṛttikās, he is remembered as Kārtikeya.

They know the sage named Devala to be the son of Pratyūṣa; / Prabhāsa's [son] is Viśvakarman, renowned as the architect of the gods.

Ajaikapād, Ahirbudhnya, Tvaṣṭṛ, and the valiant Rudra; / and the son of Tvaṣṭṛ was Viśvarūpa of great ascetic power.

Hara, Bahurūpa, Tryambaka, Aparājita, / Vṛṣākapi, Śambhu, Kapardin, Raivata,

Mṛgavyādha, Śarva, and Kapālin, O great sage— / these eleven Rudras are proclaimed the lords of the three worlds.

From Kaśyapa and in Aditi were born the twelve suns: / Viṣṇu, Śakra, Aryaman, Dhātṛ, Tvaṣṭṛ, and likewise Pūṣan,

Vivasvat, Savitṛ, Mitra, Varuṇa, / Aṃśumat, and Bhaga—these are known as the twelve Ādityas.

Soma has twenty-seven wives known as the lunar asterisms. / Then Hiraṇyakaśipu and Hiraṇyākṣa were born of Diti.

And there was a daughter, Siṃhikā, who was taken as wife by Vipracitti. / Hiraṇyakaśipu had four sons of vast might:

Anuhrāda, Hrāda, and the valiant Prahrāda, / and Saṃhrāda was the youngest among them; Prahrāda was devoted to Viṣṇu.

Saṃhrāda's sons were the long-lived Śibi and Bāṣkala; / Virocana was the son of Prahrāda, and Bali was born from Virocana.

Bali indeed had a hundred sons, the eldest of whom was Bāṇa, O Bull-bannered [Rudra]! / The sons of Hiraṇyākṣa were all endowed with great strength:

Utkura, Śakuni, Bhūtasantāpana, / Mahānāga, the mighty-armed Mahābāhu, and another, Kālanābha.

The sons of Danu were Dvimūrdhan, Śaṅkara, / Ayomukha, Śaṅkuśiras, Kapila, Śambara,

Ekacakra, the mighty-armed Mahābāhu, the very strong Tāraka, / Svarbhānu, Vṛṣaparvan, and Puloman the great asura.

These are known as the sons of Danu, along with the valiant Vipracitti. / The daughter of Svarbhānu was Suprabhā; Śarmiṣṭhā was the daughter of Vṛṣaparvan.

Upadānavī and Hayaśirā were renowned as excellent daughters. / Both daughters of Vaiśvānara were Pulomā and Kālakā.

Both of these highly fortunate ones were wives of the son of Marīci [Kaśyapa]; / from the two of them came sixty thousand sons, the best among dānavas.

The Paulomas and Kālakañjas are known as the descendants of Marīci's son [Kaśyapa]. / Likewise, the sons of Vipracitti born of Siṃhikā were:

Vyaṃśa, the strong Śalya, the very mighty Nabha, / Vātāpi, Namuci, Ilvala, Khasṛmat,

Añjaka, Naraka, and Kālanābha. / The Nivātakavaca daityas arose in the lineage of Prahrāda.

Six daughters of great nature were renowned from Tāmrā: / Śukī, Śyenī, Bhāsī, Sugrīvī, Śuci, and Gṛdhrikā.

Śukī gave birth to parrots, and Ulūkī to owls; / Śyenī to hawks, Bhāsī to kites, and Gṛdhrī to vultures.

Śukī [bore] water-dwelling birds, while Sugrīvī gave birth to / horses, camels, and donkeys; thus is the lineage of Tāmrā proclaimed.

[58] / Vinatā had two sons well-known as Garuḍa and Aruṇa; / Surasā had a thousand serpents of boundless energy.

The hooded serpents born of Kadrū were a thousand of boundless energy; / the foremost among them, O Lord of Beings, were Śeṣa, Vāsuki, and Takṣaka,

Śaṅkha, Śveta, Mahāpadma, Kambala and Aśvatara, / as well as the nāga Elāpatra, Karkoṭaka, and Dhanañjaya.

Know the group born of Krodhā, and they are all equipped with fangs; / and Krodhā gave birth to piśācas of great power.

Surabhi gave birth to cattle and buffaloes; / Irā gave birth to trees, creepers, climbing plants, and all kinds of grasses.

Khagā [gave birth to] yakṣas and rakṣases, Muni to the apsarases, / and Ariṣṭā brought forth the gandharvas of great spirit.

The forty-nine gods were indeed the Maruts: / Ekajyotis, Dvirjyotis, and Caturjyotis;

Ekaśukra, Dviśukra, and the very powerful Triśukra; / Īdṛś, Sadṛś, Anyādṛś, and then Pratisadṛś;

Mita, Samita, and the very mighty Sumita; / Ṛtajit, Satyajit, Suṣeṇa, and Senajit;

Atimitra, Amitra, Dūramitra, Ajita, / Ṛta, Ṛtadharman, Vihartṛ, Varuṇa, Dhruva,

Vidhāraṇa, and Durmedhas—this is recorded as one group; / Īdṛśa, Sadṛkṣa, Etādṛkṣa, Mitāśana,

Etena, Prasadṛkṣa, Surata of great austerities, / Hetumat, Prasava, and likewise Surabha of great renown,

Nādin, Ugra, Dhvani, Bhāsa, Vimukta, Vikṣipa, Saha, / Dyuti, Vasu, Anādhṛṣya, Lābhakāma, Jayin, Virāṭ,

and the group named Udveṣaṇa in the seventh wind-layer. / All of this is the form of Hari—kings, dānavas, and gods.

Manu and the others worshipped Hari through the retinue of the sun and the rest.
