"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.

"Out of the girls he created, he gave ten to Dharma, thirteen to Kaśyapa, and twentyseven to the moon that form a certain galaxy of stars. These very same daughters of Dakṣa produced the further race of Devâs, Râkṣasas, mankind and the other beings inhabiting the extensive universe."—54-55.
