On losing the latter batch of his sons, Dakṣa begot sixty daughters from Pânchajanî, the daughter of Viraṇi. Out of those girls, he gave ten to Dharma, thirteen to Kaśyapa, twentyseven to Chandramâ and four to Ariṣṭanemi. He also gave two to the son of Bhṛigu, another two to Kṛiśâśva, and two to Aṅgirâ. Their names will be related hereafter.—12-14.
