Matsyapurana 5.3

5.3

prajāḥ sṛjeti vyādiṣṭaḥ pūrvaṃ dakṣaḥ svayambhuvā
yathā sasarja caivādau tathaiva śṛṇuta dvijāḥ //

"Hear, O sages! I shall now relate to you how Dakṣa introduced a new system of creation at the injunction of Brahmâ."—3. Dakṣa begot thousands of issues from his wife, Pânchajanî, when he saw that the Devas, the Ṛiṣis, and the serpents, etc., created from the mind of the Creator, had not the same faculty to help the growth of creation.—4.
