Listen to the progeny of Marīci.: Anasūyā gave birth to five Ātreyas (i.e. sons of Atri) who were free from sins. She gave birth to a daughter also named Śruti who was the mother of Śaṅkhapāda. She was the wife of Kardama, the Prajāpati (Lord of subjects) and son of Pulaha. The five Ātreyas were Satya-Netra, Havya, Āpomūrti, Śanaiścara and Soma the fifth one among them. They passed away along with the Yāmadevas in the Svāyambhuva Manvantara.
