SECTION –CCXVII
(Markandeya-Samasya Parva Continued)
Markandeya continued, 'O ornament of Kuru's race,
he (Angiras) who was the third son of Brahma had a wife of the name of Subha.
Do thou hear of the children he had by her. His son Vrihaspati, O king, was
very famous, large-hearted and of great bodily vigour. His genius and learning
were profound, and he had a great reputation as a counsellor. Bhanumati was his
first-born daughter. She was the most beautiful of all his children. Angiras's
second daughter was called Raga. 2 She was so named because she was the object
of all creature's love. Siniwali 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 for this reason she was likened to Rudra's daughter. Archismati was his
fourth daughter, she was so named from her great refulgence. And his fifth
daughter was called Havishmati, so named from her accepting havis or oblations.
The sixth daughter of Angiras was called Mahismati the pious. O keen-witted
being, the seventh daughter of Angiras is known by the name of Mahamati, who is
always present at sacrifices of great splendour, and that worshipful daughter
of Angiras, whom they call unrivalled and without portion, and about whom
people utter the words kuhu kuhu wonder, is known by the name of Kuhu.'
