Now hear the line of Aditi in its order, the line in which the god Narayana, the mighty one, came down by a portion of himself. Vivasvan, Aryaman, Pusan, Tvastr, then Savitr, Bhaga, Dhatr, Vidhatr, Varuna, Mitra, Sakra, and the wide-strider. To Vivasvan, Samjna, greatly favoured, bore Manu who is called Sraddhadeva, and a pair of twins, the god Yama and Yami. Then she became a mare and bore the Nasatyas on the earth. Chaya got Sanaiscara, and then Manu Savarni, and a daughter Tapati, who chose Samvarana for her husband. Aryaman's wife was Matrka, and their sons were the Carsanis; and it was among them that the human kind was arranged by Brahma.

Pusan has no children and eats ground meal, his teeth having been broken long ago, when he laughed with his teeth bared at the one who was enraged against Daksa. Tvastr's wife was a girl named Racana, the younger sister of the Daityas. Of the two of them were born Sannivesa and the mighty Visvarupa. The hosts of gods chose him, sister's son to their enemies though he was, because their teacher, the son of Angiras, had taken offence and left them.
