Śraddhā gave birth to Kāma (Love); and Śrī[13] to Darpa (Pride); Dhṛti to Niyama (Restraint) her son; and Tuṣṭi also to Santoṣa (Contentment); Puṣṭi to Lobha (Covetousness); Medhā to Śruta (Revelation); Kriyā to Daṇḍa (Punishment), Naya (Prudence), and Vinaya (Decorum); Buddhi gave birth to Bodha (Wisdom); and Lajjā to Vinaya (Decorum); Vapus to Vyavasāya (Industry) her son; and Śānti gave birth to Kṣema (Ease); Siddhi to Sukha (Happiness); Kīrti to Taśas (Renown). These were the offspring of Dharma.
