From these two were born two sons, Priyavrata and Uttánapáda, and two daughters, named Prasúti and Ákúti, graced with loveliness and exalted merit. Prasúti he gave to Daksha, after giving Ákúti to the patriarch Ruchi, who espoused her. Ákúti bore to Ruchi twins, Yajna and Dakshiná, who afterwards became husband and wife, and had twelve sons, the deities called Yámas, in the Manwantara of Swáyambhuva. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 1.7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.7.14) - [Next: 1.7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.7.16) - [Up: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.7) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.1.7.2) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.1.7.p1.2) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.1.7.17) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (3) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.1.1.177) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Mārkaṇḍeyapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.50.14) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Ṭoḍarānanda](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.nibandha.mahanibandha.todarananda.2.100) — Ṭoḍaramalla 1564, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.7.15) · Pramāṇa
