Was made a chief progenitor on the eve of the Cākṣuṣa epoch,¹ a grandson of Soma, created men with two feet and four feet, of different faces, ears, etc., also mlecchas and women, also produced 1000 sons with Pāñcajani, named Haryaśvas. Nārada asked them to go into the world over but they perished in their sojourn.
