Shiva Purana (Books 1 & 7)

तदीयाः पुत्रपौत्राश्च येतीतास्ते सहस्रशः प्रीत्यां पुलस्त्यभार्यायां दन्तोग्निरभवत्सुतः पूर्वजन्मनि योगस्त्यस्स्मृतः स्वायंभुवे ऽंतरे

Their sons and grandsons, countless in number, have passed away; from Priti, wife of Pulastya, was born the son Dantogni, who in a previous birth was known as Yoga, during the Svayambhuva interval.

तत्संततीया बहवः पौलस्त्या इति विश्रुताः क्षमा तु सुषुवे पुत्रान्पुलहस्य प्रजापतेः

Many descendants from his line are known as the Paulastyas; Kshama gave birth to sons for Pulaha, the lord of creatures.

कर्दमश्च सुरिश्चैव सहिष्णुश्चेति ते त्रयः त्रेताग्निवर्चसस्सर्वे येषां वंशः प्रतिष्ठितः

Kardama, Suri, and Sahiṣṇu—these three, all possessing the brilliance of the three sacred fires, established their lineages.

क्रतोः क्रतुसमान्भार्या सन्नतिस्सुषुवे सुतान् नैषां भार्याश्च पुत्राश्च सर्वे ते ह्यूर्ध्वरेतसः

From Kratu's wife, Sannati, were born sons equal to Kratu; their wives and sons are all said to be celibate.

षष्टिस्तानि सहस्राणि वालखिल्या इति स्मृताः अनूरोरग्रतो यांति परिवार्य दिवाकरम्

These are remembered as sixty thousand Valakhilyas, who, surrounding the sun, move ahead of Anurora.

अत्रेर्भार्यानुसूया च पञ्चात्रेयानसूयत कन्यकां च श्रुतिं नाम माता शंखपदस्य च

Anusuya, the wife of Atri, gave birth to the five Atreyas, and also to a daughter named Shruti, mother of Shankhapada.

सत्यनेत्रश्च हव्यश्च आपोमूर्तिश्शनैश्चरः सोमश्च पञ्चमस्त्वेते पञ्चात्रेयाः प्रकीर्तिताः

Satyanetra, Havya, Apomurti, Shanaishcara, and Soma—these five are celebrated as the Atreyas.

तेषां पुत्राश्च पौत्राश्च ह्यात्रेयाणां महात्मनाम् स्वायंभुवे ऽंतरे ऽतीताः शतशो ऽथ सहस्रशः

The sons and grandsons of those great-souled descendants of Atri, in the age of Svāyambhuva, have passed by the hundreds and thousands.

ऊर्जायां तु वसिष्ठस्य पुत्रा वै सप्त जज्ञिरे ज्यायसी च स्वसा तेषां पुंडरीका सुमध्यमा

From Ūrjā, seven sons were indeed born to Vasiṣṭha, and their elder sister was Puṇḍarīkā, of graceful form.

रजो गात्रोर्ध्वबाहू च सवनश्चानयश्च यः सुतपाश्शुक्र इत्येते सप्त सप्तर्षयः स्मृताः

Rajas, Gātra, Ūrdhvabāhu, Savana, Anaya, Sutapā, and Śukra—these seven are remembered as the seven sages.

गोत्राणि नामभिस्तेषां वासिष्ठानां महात्मनाम् स्वायंभुवे ऽंतरे ऽतीतान्यर्बुदानि शतानि च

The lineages of those great-souled Vasiṣṭhas, by their names, have passed in the age of Svāyambhuva by the hundreds of millions.

इत्येष ऋषिसर्गस्तु सानुबंधः प्रकीर्तितः समासाद्विस्तराद्वक्तुमशक्यो ऽयमिति द्विजाः

Thus, the creation of the sages, along with their descendants, has been described; in summary, for in detail it cannot be told, O twice-born ones.

यो ऽसौ रुद्रात्मको बह्निब्रह्मणो मानसस्सुतः स्वाहा तस्य प्रिया लेभे पुत्रांस्त्रीनमितौजसः

He who is the Rudra-essence, the mind-born son of Fire-Brahmā, his beloved was Svāhā, and she bore him three mighty sons.

पावकः पवमानश्च शुचिरित्येष ते त्रयः निर्मंथ्यः पवमानस्स्याद्वैद्युतः पावकस्स्मृतः

Pāvaka, Pavamāna, and Śuci—these three are they; Pavamāna is called churned, Pāvaka is known as lightning.

सूर्ये तपति यश्चासौ शुचिः सौर उदाहृतः हव्यवाहः कव्यवाहः सहरक्षा इति त्रयः

Śuci, who shines in the sun, is called Sāura; Havyavāha, Kavyavāha, and Saharakṣa—these are the three.

त्रयाणां क्रमशः पुत्रा देवपितृसुराश्च ते एतेषां पुत्रपौत्राश्च चत्वारिंशन्नवैव ते

Their sons, in order, are gods, ancestors, and suras; their sons and grandsons number forty-nine.

काम्यनैमित्तिकाजस्रकर्मसु त्रिषु संस्थिताः सर्वे तपस्विनो ज्ञेयाः सर्वे व्रतभृतस्तथा

Established in three kinds of acts—desire, occasion, and constant—all are to be known as ascetics, all as observers of vows.

सर्वे रुद्रात्मकश्चैव सर्वे रुद्रपरायणाः तस्मादग्निमुखे यत्तद्धुतं स्यादेव केनचित्

All are of Rudra's essence, all devoted to Rudra; therefore, whatever is offered into the fire by anyone,

तत्सर्वं रुद्रमुद्दिश्य दत्तं स्यान्नात्र संशयः इत्येवं निश्चयोग्नीनामनुक्रांतो यथातथम्

All that, offered with Rudra in mind, is indeed given to Rudra—of this there is no doubt; thus the lineage of the fires has been recounted as it is.

नातिविस्तरतो विप्राः पित्ःन्वक्ष्याम्यतः परम् यस्मात्षडृतवस्तेषां स्थानं स्थानाभिमानिनाम्

I will not speak further in detail, O Brāhmaṇas, about the ancestors; for their place is among the six seasons, as they are identified with the seasons.

ऋतवः पितरस्तस्मादित्येषा वैदिकी श्रुतिः युष्मादृतुषु सर्वे हि जायंते स्थास्नुजंगमा

Therefore, the ancestors are the seasons—thus is the Vedic teaching; from the seasons, all beings, stationary and moving, are indeed born.

तस्मादेते पितर आर्तवा इति च श्रुतम् एवं पित्ःणामेतेषामृतुकालाभिमानिनाम्

Therefore, these ancestors are called seasonal, as is heard; thus, these ancestors are identified with the times of the seasons.

आत्मैश्वर्या महात्मानस्तिष्ठंतीहाब्भ्रसंगमात् आग्निष्वात्ता बर्हिषदः पितरो द्विविधाः स्मृताः

Possessed of self-mastery, the great-souled ones remain here, free from impurity; the ancestors are remembered as of two kinds—Āgniṣvāttas and Barhiṣads.

अयज्वानश्च यज्वानः क्रमात्ते मृहमेधिनः स्वधासूत पितृभ्यश्च द्वे कन्ये लोकविश्रुते

Non-sacrificers and sacrificers, in order, are those who dwell among the dead; from the ancestors, Svadhā bore two daughters, renowned in the worlds.

मेनां च धरणीं चैव याभ्यां विश्वमिदं धृतम् अग्निष्वात्तसुता मेना धरणी बर्हिषत्सुता

Menā and Dharanī—by whom this whole world is supported; Menā is the daughter of the Āgniṣvāttas, Dharanī of the Barhiṣads.

मेना हिमवतः पत्नी मैनाकं क्रौंचमेव च गौरीं गंगां च सुषुवे भवांगाश्लेषपावनीम्

Menā, the wife of Himavat, gave birth to Maināka, Krauñca, Gaurī, and Gaṅgā, who is purified by contact with Bhava’s body.

मेरोस्तु धरणी पत्नी दिव्यौषधिसमन्वितम् मंदरं सुषुवे पुत्रं चित्रिसुन्दरकन्धरम्

The earth, wife of Meru, endowed with divine herbs, gave birth to Mandara, her son with a beautifully adorned neck.

स एव मंदरः श्रीमान्मेरुपुत्रस्तपोबलात् साक्षाच्छ्रीकंठनाथस्य शिवस्यावसथं गतः

That same illustrious Mandara, son of Meru, through the power of his austerities, became the very abode of the lord Śrīkaṇṭha Śiva.

सासूता धरणी भूयस्त्रिंशत्कन्याश्च विश्रुताः वेलां च नियतिं चैव तृतीयामपि चायतिम्

Again, the earth gave birth to thirty renowned daughters, as well as Velā, Niyati, and a third, Āyati.
