Besides these three children, Maya had some other sons and daughters. In Devī Bhāgavata, 8th Skandha there is a reference to the Dānava named Bala, the son of Maya, living in Atala, a section of Pātāla. In Kathā saritsāgara, Madanamañcukālambaka, 3rd Taraṅga we find that Maya had two daughters named Svayam-prabhā and Somaprabhā. Of them, Somaprabhā was married by Nalakūbara, the son of Vaiśravaṇa.
