Thence Dakṣa got mighty power and great lusture, and the remainder of (the good luck) which reached the Earth was divided into eight parts. From them were produced the seven givers of prosperity to all men, namely (1) sugarcanes, the Kings of all juices Rasarâjam (2) Niṣpâva, coriander seed (?), (3) the cuminseed (Kâlâjîrâ), (4) the clarified butter (ghṛita), (5) cow’s milk (Kṣîra), (6) saffron (Kusumbha), (7) safflower (Kumkuma). So also the common salt was produced as the eighth, and these are called saubhâgya Aṣṭaka, the eight blessings.—7-9.
