1. O perpetuator of the Kuru race, he who was the third son of Brahma had a wife named Subha. Hear about her sons.
2. O King, his son Brihaspati was very famous, high-souled and vigorous. His genius and learning were very great. He was highly renowned as a counsellor.
3. Bhanumati was the name of his eldest daughter; she was the most beautiful of all his children.
4. Angira’s second daughter was called Raga, she was so named because she was the source of all creatures’ love.
5. Sinivali was the third daughter of Angiras. Her body was of such slender make, that she was visible at one time and invisible at another and Therefore, she was likened to the daughter of Rudra.
6. Archishmati was his fourth daughter, she was so named because of her great effulgence; the fifth was Havishmati, so named from her accepting Havish (oblations); the sixth daughter of Angiras was named Mahishmati, who was very pious.
7-8. O high-minded one, his seventh daughter was named Mahamati; she was always present at sacrifices of great splendour and that adorable daughter of Angiras whom they called matchless and about whom me cried kuhu, kuhu, in wonder was called Kuhu.
