maitreya uvāca:
aṅguṣṭhād dakṣiṇād dakṣaḥ pūrvaṃ jātaḥ śruto mayā
kathaṃ prācetaso bhūyaḥ sa saṃbhūto mahāmune //

MAITREYA.--Daksha, as I have formerly heard, was born from the right thumb of Brahmá: tell me, great Muni, how he was regenerate as the son of the Prachetasas. Considerable perplexity also arises in my mind, how he, who, as the son of Márishá, was the grandson of Soma, could be also his father-in-law.
