medhā śrutaṃ kriyā daṇḍaṃ nayaṃ vinayam eva ca
bodhaṃ buddhis tathā lajjā vinayaṃ vapur ātmajam
vyavasāyaṃ prajajñe vai kṣemaṃ śāntir asūyata //

The progeny of Dharma by the daughters of Daksha were as follows: by Sraddhá he had Káma (desire); by Lakshmí, Darpa (pride); by Dhriti, Niyama (precept); by Tusht́i, Santosha (content); by Pusht́i, Lobha (cupidity); by Medhá, Sruta (sacred tradition); by Kriyá, Dańd́a, Naya, and Vinaya (correction, polity, and prudence); by Buddhi, Bodha (understanding); by Lajjá, Vinaya (good behaviour); by Vapu, Vyavasaya (perseverance). Sánti gave birth to Kshema (prosperity); Siddhi to Sukha (enjoyment); and Kírtti to Yasas (reputation). These were the sons of Dharma; one of whom, Káma, had Hersha (joy) by his wife Nandi (delight).
