When Saṃjñâ could not bear the power of the Sun, she produced from her body a lady known as Chhâyâ (shadow). Seeing Chhâyâ standing face to face, Saṃjñâ directed her to serve her master and also to take motherly care of her progeny. On Chhâyâ's agreeing to carry out her injunctions, Saṃjñâ went away somewhere.—4-7. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 11.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.6) - [Next: 11.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.8) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.11.p3) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.11.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.7) · Pramāṇa
