Matsyapurana 5.4

5.4

yadā tu sṛjatastasya devarṣigaṇapannagān
na vṛddhim agamallokas tadā maithunayogataḥ
dakṣaḥ putrasahasrāṇi pāñcajanyāmajījanat //

"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.
