dakṣiṇāṅguṣṭhajo dakṣo brahmaputro mahāmatiḥ /
kanyāṃ sṛṣṭvā hareḥ prīṇannāsa bhūmā prajāpatiḥ /
putrānudapādayaddakṣastvato dakṣa iti smṛtaḥ //

Dakṣa, born from the right thumb, was the high-minded son of Brahmā;
creating daughters, pleasing Hari, he was a Prajāpati on earth;
Dakṣa brought forth sons, so he is remembered as Dakṣa.
