and then Ajaka; and Aswagriva, and Sukshama, and Tuhunda of great strength, Ekapada, and Ekachakra, Virupaksha, Mahodara, and Nichandra, and Nikumbha, Kupata, and then Kapata; Sarabha, and Sulabha, Surya, and then Chandramas; these in the race of Danu are stated to be well-known.  The Surya and Chandramas (the Sun and the Moon) of the celestials are other persons, and not the sons of Danu as mentioned above.  The following ten, gifted with great strength and vigour, were also, O king, born in the race of Danu;—­Ekaksha, Amritapa of heroic courage, Pralamva and Naraka, Vatrapi, Satrutapana, and Satha, the great Asura; Gavishtha, and Vanayu, and the Danava called Dirghajiva.  And, O Bharata, the sons and the grandsons of these were known to be countless.  And Sinhika gave birth to Rahu, the persecutor of the Sun and the Moon, and to three others, Suchandra, Chandrahantri, and Chandrapramardana.  And the countless progeny of Krura (krodha) were as crooked and wicked as herself.  And the tribe was wrathful, of crooked deeds, and persecutors of their foes.  And Danayu also had four sons who were bulls among the Asuras.  They were Vikshara, Vala, Vira, and Vritra the great Asura.  And the sons of Kala were all like Yama himself and smiter of all foes.  And they were of great energy, and oppressors of all foes.  And the sons of Kala were Vinasana and Krodha, and then Krodhahantri, and Krodhasatru.  And there were many others among the sons of Kala.  And Sukra, the son of a Rishi, was the chief priest of the Asuras.  And the celebrated Sukra had four sons who were priests of the Asuras.  And they were Tashtadhara and Atri, and two others of fierce deeds.  They were like the Sun himself in energy, and set their hearts on acquiring the regions of Brahman.

“Thus hath been recited by me, as heard in the Purana, of progeny of the gods and the Asuras, both of great strength and energy.  I am incapable, O king, of counting the descendants of these, countless as they are, are not much known to fame.

“And the sons of Vinata were Tarkhya and Arishtanemi, and Garuda and Aruna, and Aruni and Varuni.  And Sesha or Ananta, Vasuki, Takshaka, Kumara, and Kulika are known to be the sons of Kadru; and Bhimasena, Ugrasena, Suparna, Varuna, Gopati, and Dhritarashtra, and Suryavarchas the seventh, Satyavachas, Arkaparna, Prayuta, Bhima, and Chitraratha known to fame, of great learning, and a controller of his passions, and then Kalisiras, and, O king, Parjanya, the fourteenth in the list, Kali, the fifteenth, and Narada, the sixteenth—­these Devas and Gandharvas are known to be the sons of Muni (Daksha’s daughter as mentioned before).  I shall recount many others, O Bharata!  Anavadya Manu, Vansa, Asura, Marganapria, Anupa, Subhaga, Vasi, were the daughters brought forth by Pradha, Siddha, and Purna, and Varhin, and Purnayus of great fame, Brahmacharin, Ratiguna, and Suparna who was the seventh; Viswavasu, Bhanu, and Suchandra who was the tenth, were also the sons of Pradha.
