pitaro brahmaṇā sṛṣṭā ye vyākhyātā mayā tava /
agniṣvāttā barhiṣado 'nagnayaḥ sāgnayaśca ye //
Brahmā created the Pitṛs[16] whom I have mentioned to thee, who are the Agniṣvāttas,[17] the Barhiṣads,[18] those who did not maintain the sacred fire on earth, and those who did maintain the fire.[19] By them Svadhā[20] gave birth to two daughters, Menā and Dhāriṇī; they both were teachers of the Veda, and they both were female yogis.
