Sanskrit Original
धर्मस्य वै क्रियायां तु दण्डः समय एव च। अप्रमादस तथा बोधो बुद्धेर्धर्मस्य तौ सुतौ।।
dharmasya vai kriyāyāṃ tu daṇḍaḥ samaya eva ca| apramādas tathā bodho buddherdharmasya tau sutau||
Sūta said: Dharma begot of Kriyā (activity) and Buddhi (intelligence) two sons each viz.,—Daṇḍa (punishment) and Samaya (agreement) of the former, Apramāda (non-erring) and Bodha (wisdom) of the latter. Hence the sons of Dharma and Adharma are fifteen in all. Bhṛgu’s wife Khyāti gave birth to Śrī, (who became) the wife of Viṣṇu and to two sons Dhātṛ and Vidhātṛ who later became the sons-in-law of Meru. Prabhūti, wife of Marīci, gave birth to two sons: Pūrṇamāsa and Mārīca and four daughters: Tuṣṭi, Dṛṣṭi, Kṛṣi and Apaciti.
