CHAPTER SIX
KAPITOLA ŠESTÁ
The Progeny of the Daughters of Dakṣa
Potomstvo Dakṣových dcer
As described in this chapter, Prajāpati Dakṣa begot sixty daughters in the womb of his wife Asiknī. These daughters were given in charity to various persons to increase the population. Since these offspring of Dakṣa were women, Nārada Muni did not try to lead them toward the renounced order of life. Thus the daughters were saved from Nārada Muni. Ten of the daughters were given in marriage to Dharmarāja, thirteen to Kaśyapa Muni, and twenty-seven to the moon-god, Candra. In this way fifty daughters were distributed, and of the other ten daughters, four were given to Kaśyapa and two each to Bhūta, Aṅgirā and Kṛśāśva. One should know that it is because of the union of these sixty daughters with various exalted personalities that the entire universe was filled with various kinds of living entities, such as human beings, demigods, demons, beasts, birds and serpents.
Prajāpati Dakṣa zplodil v lůně své manželky Asiknī šedesát dcer, které byly darovány různým osobnostem, aby zvýšily počet obyvatelstva. Jelikož těmito Dakṣovými potomky byly ženy, Nārada Muni se je nesnažil vést k životnímu stavu odříkání. Dcery byly tedy před Nāradou Munim ochráněny. Deset jich bylo provdáno za Dharmarāje, třináct za Kaśyapu Muniho a dvacet sedm za boha Měsíce, Candru. Takto bylo rozděleno padesát dcer a ze zbývajících deseti byly čtyři dány Kaśyapovi a po dvou Bhūtovi, Aṅgirovi a Kṛśāśvovi. Měli bychom vědět, že právě díky spojení těchto šedesáti dcer s různými vznešenými osobnostmi byl celý vesmír zaplněn různými druhy živých bytostí, jako jsou lidé, polobozi, démoni, zvěř, ptáci a hadi.

- Sloka 23:
- Ó Mahārāji Parīkṣite, nejlepší z Bhāratovců, všechna souhvězdí zvaná Kṛttikā byla manželkami boha Měsíce. Jelikož ho však Prajāpati Dakṣa proklel, aby trpěl nemocí, která způsobuje postupné zničení, bůh Měsíce nemohl mít s žádnou ze svých žen děti.
- Texts 24-26:
- 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.

Měsíc během temných čtrnácti dnů ztrácí svůj svit a během světlých čtrnácti dnů ho opět projeví. Ó králi Parīkṣite, nyní si ode mě prosím vyslechni jména Kaśyapových žen, z jejichž lůn pochází obyvatelstvo celého vesmíru. Tyto ženy jsou matkami téměř všech živých bytostí ve vesmíru a jejich jména je velice příznivé slyšet. Jsou to Aditi, Diti, Danu, Kāṣṭhā, Ariṣṭā, Surasā, Ilā, Muni, Krodhavaśā, Tāmrā, Surabhi, Saramā a Timi. Z lůna Timi se narodili všichni vodní živočichové a z lůna Saramy dravá zvířata, jako jsou tygři a lvi.

- Sloka 29-31:
- Gandharvové se narodili z lůna Ariṣṭy a lichokopytníci — jako například kůň — se zrodili z lůna Kāṣṭhy.

- Vaiśvānara, the son of Danu, had four beautiful daughters, named Upadānavī, Hayaśirā, Pulomā and Kālakā. Hiraṇyākṣa married Upadānavī, and Kratu married Hayaśirā. Thereafter, at the request of Lord Brahmā, Prajāpati Kaśyapa married Pulomā and Kālakā, the other two daughters of Vaiśvānara. From the wombs of these two wives of Kaśyapa came sixty thousand sons, headed by Nivātakavaca, who are known as the Paulomas and the Kālakeyas. They were physically very strong and expert in fighting, and their aim was to disturb the sacrifices performed by the great sages. My dear King, when your grandfather Arjuna went to the heavenly planets, he alone killed all these demons, and thus King Indra became extremely affectionate toward him.
- Sloka 33-36:
- Vaiśvānara, syn Danu, měl čtyři nádherné dcery, které se jmenovaly Upadānavī, Hayaśirā, Pulomā a Kālakā. Hiraṇyākṣa se oženil s Upadānavī a Kratu s Hayaśirou. Se zbývajícími dvěma se poté na žádost Pána Brahmy oženil Prajāpati Kaśyapa. Z lůn těchto dvou Kaśyapových manželek se narodilo šedesát tisíc synů v čele s Nivātakavacou, kteří jsou známí jako Paulomové a Kālakeyové. Byli fyzicky velice silní a znalí boje a jejich cílem bylo narušovat oběti vykonávané velkými mudrci. Můj milý králi, tvůj děd Arjuna sám všechny tyto démony zabil, když cestoval na nebeské planety, a král Indra si ho proto velice oblíbil.

- Sloka 38-39:
- Nyní prosím poslouchej, jak v chronologickém pořadí vyjmenuji potomky Aditi. V této dynastii sestoupil ve Své úplné expanzi Nārāyaṇa, Nejvyšší Osobnost Božství. Syny Aditi jsou Vivasvān, Aryamā, Pūṣā, Tvaṣṭā, Savitā, Bhaga, Dhātā, Vidhātā, Varuṇa, Mitra, Śatru a Urukrama.
- Text 40:
- Saṁjñā, the wife of Vivasvān, the sun-god, gave birth to the Manu named Śrāddhadeva, and the same fortunate wife also gave birth to the twins Yamarāja and the river Yamunā. Then Yamī, while wandering on the earth in the form of a mare, gave birth to the Aśvinī-kumāras.
- Sloka 40:
- Saṁjñā, manželka boha Slunce Vivasvāna, porodila Manua jménem Śrāddhadeva a tatáž šťastlivá žena porodila také dvojčata — Yamarāje a řeku Yamunu. Když potom Yamī putovala po Zemi v podobě klisny, přivedla na svět Aśvinī-kumāry.

- Text 43:
- Pūṣā had no sons. When Lord Śiva was angry at Dakṣa, Pūṣā had laughed at Lord Śiva and shown his teeth. Therefore he lost his teeth and had to live by eating only ground flour.
- Sloka 43:
- Pūṣā neměl žádné syny. Když se Pán Śiva hněval na Dakṣu, Pūṣā se mu vysmíval a ukazoval své zuby. Proto o ně přišel a od té doby se musí živit pouze rozemletou moukou.

- Text 45:
- Although Viśvarūpa was the son of the daughter of their eternal enemies the demons, the demigods accepted him as their priest in accordance with the order of Brahmā when they were abandoned by their spiritual master, Bṛhaspati, whom they had disrespected.
- Sloka 45:
- Když se polobohů zřekl jejich duchovní mistr, Bṛhaspati, jehož zneuctili, přijali v souladu s pokynem Brahmy za svého kněze Viśvarūpu, přestože byl synem dcery jejich věčných nepřátel, démonů.
