Ramayana 3.91a

"List while I tell, O Raghu's son, The first-born Fathers, one by one, Great Lords of Life, whence all in earth And all in heaven derive their birth. First Kardam heads the glorious race Where Vikrit holds the second place, With Sesha, Sansray next in line, And Bahuputra's might divine. Then Sthanu and Marichi came, Atri, and Kratu's forceful frame. Pulastya followed, next to him Angiras' name shall ne'er be dim. Prachetas, Pulah next, and then Daksha, Vivasvat praised of men: Arishtanemi next, and last Kasyap in glory unsurpassed. From Daksha,--fame the tale has told--: Three-score bright daughters sprang of old. Of these fair-waisted nymphs the great Lord Kasyap sought and wedded eight, Aditi, Diti, Kalaka, Tamra, Danu, and Anala, And Krodhavasa swift to ire, And Manu(443) glorious as her sire. Then when the mighty Kasyap cried Delighted to each tender bride: "Sons shalt thou bear, to rule the three Great worlds, in might resembling me." Aditi, Diti, and Danu Obeyed his will as consorts true, And Kalaka; but all the rest Refused to hear their lord's behest. First Aditi conceived, and she, Mother of thirty Gods and three, The Vasus and Adityas bare, Rudras, and Asvins, heavenly pair. Of Diti sprang the Daityas: fame Delights to laud their ancient name. In days of yore their empire dread O'er earth and woods and ocean spread. Danu was mother of a child, O hero, Asvagriva styled, And Narak next and Kalak came Of Kalaka, celestial dame. Of Tamra, too, five daughters bright In deathless glory sprang to light. Ennobling fame still keeps alive The titles of the lovely five: Immortal honour still she claims For Kraunchi, Bhasi, Syeni's names. And wills not that the world forget Suki or Dhritarashtri yet. Then Kraunchi bare the crane and owl, And Bhasi tribes of water fowl: Vultures and hawks that race through air With storm-fleet pinions Syeni bare.
