smṛtibījahare cānye tayoḥ kanye 'tidāruṇe /
vidveṣaṇyaṣṭamī nāma kanyā lokabhayāvahā //

Mārkaṇḍeya spoke:
Duḥsaha had a wife named Nirmāṣṭi[1]; now she was begotten in Kali’s wife when she saw a caṇḍāla at the time of her menstruation. They had sixteen children, who pervade the world, eight sons and eight daughters, all very terrible. Dantākṛṣṭi and Ukti, and Parivarta the next, Angadhṛṣ and Śakuni and Gaṇḍaprāntarati, Garbhahan and the last Sasyahan were their male children. And they had eight daughters besides; hear their names from me. The first was Niyojikā, and the second Virodhinī, and Svayaṃhārakarī, Bhrāmaṇī, Ṛtuhārikā, and two other very terrible daughters Smṛtiharā and Vījaharā; and the eighth daughter was named Vidveṣaṇī who causes terror to mankind.
