dhātāvidhātroste bhārye tayorjātau sutāvubhau /
prāṇaścaiva mṛkaṇḍuśca pitā mama mahāyaśāḥ //

Khyāti the wife of Bhṛgu[5] gave birth to the two gods Dhātṛ and Vidhātṛ, and to Śrī who was the wife of the supreme god Nārāyaṇa. Āyati and Niyati were the two daughters of high-souled Meru; they became the wives of Dhātṛ and Vidhātṛ. A son was born from each of them, both Prāṇa and Mṛkaṇḍa.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa

The latter was my illustrious father. I am his son by Manasvinī; Vedaśiras is my son, he was born of Dhūmravatī.
