The account (subject to minor variations) stands thus. Menā was wife of Mount Himavant. They had a son Mount Maināka and three daughters, Aparṇā, Ekaparṇā and Ekapāṭalā. Aparṇā became the goddess Umā; Ekaparṇā married the rishi Asita and had a son the rishi Devala; and Ekapāṭalā married Sataśilāka's son, the rishi Jaigīṣavya, and had two sons, Saṅkha and Likhita. Acchodā, the river, transgressing against the Pitṛs, was born as a low-caste maiden (dāseyī) from king Vasu of Cedi and a fish who was the apsaras Adrikā; and she became (Kālī) Satyavatī, who was mother of Vyāsa by Parāśara, and of Vicitravīrya and Citrāṅgada ⁴ by king Śantanu. Pīvarī was wife of Vyāsa's son Śuka, and had five sons and a daughter Kīrtimatī who was Aṇuha's queen and Brahmadatta's mother.⁵ Go, called also Ekaśṛṅgā, married the great rishi Śukra and was ancestress of the Bhṛgus. Yaśodā was wife of Viśvamahat, daughter-in-law of Vṛddhaśarman, and mother of Dilīpa II Khaṭvāṅga.⁶ Virajā was wife of Nahuṣa and mother of Yayāti.⁷ Narmadā, the river, was wife of Purukutsa and mother of Trasadasyu.⁸ - [Previous: c10.83](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c10.83) - [Next: c10.85](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c10.85) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c10) ## Cites (14) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.5.9.2) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Agnipurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.agni.272.25) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata.9.7.1) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahmanda.2.10.1) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Brahmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahma.34.41) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Matsyapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.13.2) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Garuḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.garuda.1.138.24) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu.2.11) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Liṅgapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.linga.1.6.5) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.4.3.6) — Sanskrit - [Kūrmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.kurma.1.20.27) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Śivapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.siva) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Harivaṃśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.harivamsa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c10.84](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c10.84) · Pramāṇa
