Translation

Traducción

Thereafter the King of the moon pacified Prajāpati Dakṣa with courteous words and thus regained the portions of light he had lost during his disease. Nevertheless he could not beget children. The moon loses his shining power during the dark fortnight, and in the bright fortnight it is manifest again. O King Parīkṣit, now please hear from me the names of Kaśyapa’s wives, from whose wombs the population of the entire universe has come. They are the mothers of almost all the population of the entire universe, and their names are very auspicious to hear. They are Aditi, Diti, Danu, Kāṣṭhā, Ariṣṭā, Surasā, Ilā, Muni, Krodhavaśā, Tāmrā, Surabhi, Saramā and Timi. From the womb of Timi all the aquatics took birth, and from the womb of Saramā the ferocious animals like the tigers and lions took birth.

Después de esto, el rey de la Luna apaciguó a Prajāpati Dakṣa con palabras amables, y así recuperó las partes luminosas perdidas en su enfermedad. No obstante no pudo engendrar hijos. La Luna pierde su brillo en la quincena oscura, y vuelve a manifestarlo en la quincena brillante. ¡Oh, rey Parīkṣit!, escucha ahora, mientras cito los nombres de las esposas de Kaśyapa, de cuyos vientres ha nacido toda la población de universo. Ellas son madres de la práctica totalidad de los seres del universo, y sus nombres, que son auspiciosos para el oído, son los siguientes: Aditi, Diti, Danu, Kāṣṭhā, Ariṣṭā, Surasā, Ilā, Muni, Krodhavaśā, Tāmrā, Surabhi, Saramā y Timi. Del vientre de Timi nacieron todos los seres acuáticos, y del vientre de Saramā, las fieras salvajes, como los tigres y los leones.
