Sūta said: Śraddhā gave birth to Kāma. Darpa was the son of Lakṣmī; Niyama of Dhṛti; Santoṣa of Tuṣṭi; Lobha of Puṣṭi; Śruta of Medhā; Daṇḍa and Samaya were born as the sons of Kriyā; Bodha and Pramāda of Buddhi; Vinaya (Humility) was born of Lajjā; Vyavasāya (Enterprise) of Vapus; Kṣema of Śānti; Sukha of Siddhi; and Yaśaḥ of Kīrti—these were the offspring of Dharma. Harṣa was Kama’s son born of the gentle lady Prīti. Thus, the creation of Dharma has been recounted. Hiṃsā bore to Adharma, Nikṛti and Anṛta.
