"Dakṣa became the progenitor of a most queer race. Among his children some were bipeds, some had more feet, some had long ears and some broad ones, some had features resembling those of the horse, the bear, the lion, the dog, the boar, or the camel. On seing such a vast multitude of his progeny, Dakṣa created a large number of women."—52-53.
