Thus the male entity Apava, called swayambhuu manu, got shata-rUpa as his wife. Living beings were born.
There is another damsel named kAmya who is the daughter of kardama prajApati. This girl on taking priyavrata as her husband gave rise to four sons called sAmrAT, kukshi, virAT, and prabhu.
Then prajApati atri adopted uttAnapada as his son, and uttAnapAda begot four sons from a damsel called sUnRita, or also called as sunIta, daughter of Dharma.
UttAnapAda begot four sons through this sUnita, who are dhruva, kIrti-manta, shiva, and ayaspati.
O Janmajeya, dhruva undertook penances and was awarded the position of the North Star in the heaven.
dhruva begot two sons, named shliShTi and bhavya. And shliShTi had five sons ripu, ripun-jaya, puNya, vR^ikla, vR^ika-teja from his wife named sucChAyA.
And from ripu his wife named bRihati had a son called chAkshuSha.
A son, called manu was born to chAkshuSha.
From Manu, were born ten sons - Uru, puru, shata-dyumna, tapasvi, satyavAn, kavi, agni-ShTuta, ati-rAtra, and sudyumna and abhimanyu.
From Uru were born anga, sumana, khyAti, kratu, angIirasa, and gaya.
From anga was the son,Vena. Due to his sacrilegous acts, Vena was cursed to die. The sages churned his body, and from that emerged Prithu and Bahuka.Bahuka was the evil deeds of Vena and was driven away. Prithu emerged with all good qualities.
Prithu held a , bow, had armour and a sword and guarded the earth.
Prithu organized a sacrifice. He made the earth a cow, and milked it. Thus the earth became known as Prithvi.
Prithu had two sons, namely antar-dhI and pAlita, and antardhI had a son named havidhAna. havidhana had six sons - prAchIna-barhi, shukla, gaya, kRiShNa, vraja, and ajina.
There were ten sons of prAchIna-barhi who were called by a single collective name - prAchetasa-s, who are experts in missile-archery.The sons undertook a rigorous penance for ten thousand years submersed in oceanic water. With these brothers away, earth was unprotected. Trees spread out and earth became a thick forest and people started perishing.Air ceased to circulate. On noticing this, prAchetasa-s furiously vented air as well as fire from their faces which began killing the trees.
Noticing the near-extinction of trees in a non-stop manner, the king of vegetation, namely Soma, or Chandra - the presiding deity of the moon, approached the ten prAchetasa brothers and asked the brothers to control their anger. He said he was aware of a girl, who was the daughter of vegetation called Marisha abd offered her as their wife.
The brothers agreed and took Marisha as their collective wife. This was before Draupadi married five Pandavas. A son Daksha was born to Marisha.
Daughters were born of Daksha of whom ten married dharma, thirteen Kashyapa and the remaining twenty seven to the moon. One the wives of dharma was vasu who gave birth to the vasus. This was Bhishma in his earlier birth.
