Among the Yakṣas, Loheyī was the eldest, followed by Bharatā, then Kṛśāṅgī and Viśālā, whose beauty was unmatched. From these noble beings, Viśālā, mighty among them, gave rise to four ancient Yakṣa groups: the Loheya, Bharateya, Kṛśāṅgeya, and Viśāleya. These fierce and powerful Asuras filled the worlds with Yakṣa hosts, both seen and unseen. Then arose the Gandharvas, sons of Vali, mighty and noble-hearted, heroes of great strength and leaders among their kind. Endowed with valor, generosity, and immense prowess, their names were declared in proper order: Citrāṅgada, of great might; Citravarman, equally powerful; Citraketu, highly fortunate; and Somadatta, strong and renowned. Alongside them were three daughters: Agnikā, the first; Kambalā, the next; and Vasumatī, whose beauty and vigor were unrivaled. From these, by another son, arose three principal Gandharva hosts—valiant and fierce in battle—the Āgneyas, Kambaleyas, and the sons of Vasumatī. By these diverse groups, the world, both moving and unmoving, was filled. That same mighty and great-souled one produced beings learned and fortunate—lords of beauty, wisdom, and wealth. Among the Gandharvas, manifest in power and greatness, their names were Hiraṇyaroma, Kapila, Suloma, Māgadha, Candraketu (the Gangetic one), and Goda, mighty in strength. Thus began the host of the Kinnaras—great-souled, learned, valiant, and austere. There were two other groups as well: Śivā and Sumanā. By these two, Viśravas the great-souled produced beings who dwell in knowledge and discipline. The Śaiveyas, valiant ones, and the Saumanasa hosts, together with the Kinnaras, formed three groups of Vidyādharas, filling the world. From these arose countless beings who move through the sky—hundreds of hosts in the world, through the activity of the Vidyādharas. By that same mighty and great-souled one, the horse-faced Kinnaras were produced. Among them, Samudra, Sena, Kālinda, Mahānetra (mighty in strength), Suvarṇaghoṣa, Sugrīva, and Mahāghoṣa (powerful as well) were named. Thus began the host of Kinnaras—great-souled, horse-faced, as described by the learned and widely renowned. Likewise, by that same mighty and great-souled one, the human-faced Kinnaras, the Śāṃśapāyanas, were produced. Among them were Hariṣeṇa, Suṣeṇa, Vāriṣeṇa (powerful), Rudradatta, Indradatta, Candradruma, and Mahādruma. Bindu, Bindusāra, the Moon-born, and the Kinnaras themselves were foremost among their kind, renowned in the world and exceedingly beautiful. O best of the twice-born, among these, hundreds of groups of great-souled Kinnaras, skilled in dance and song, flourished in the world. Yakṣa, Yakṣopaśānta, the beautiful Lauheyā, and Suravindā, the illustrious daughter, were all esteemed by the Siddhas. From Upāyāketa himself, a host was produced. Their names, given by Karālaka, were heard: the Bhūtas, together with their groups, called Āveśakas and Niveśakas, thus began the host known to move upon the earth. In this world, the leader of the Bhūtas was recognized; among those who move through the sky, the most excellent roam the space equal to the height of a tree, without doubt. Thus, the Devas and Gandharvas were mostly described—illustrious beings, devoted to attending upon the gods. Nārāyaṇa, the preceptor of the gods; Viraja, the lotus-eyed one; Hiraṇyagarbha; and the four-faced, self-born one were revered. Śaṅkara, Mahādeva, Īśāna, lord of the world; the Ādityas headed by Indra; the Rudras and the Vasus—all were attended by Gandharvas skilled in dance and song. The gods dwelling in every world, adept in singing and playing instruments, paid homage. Among the Gandharvas, Haṃsa is the eldest, another is the youngest; the two in the middle are Hahā and Huhū. The fourth is Dhiṣaṇa, then Vāsiruci. The sixth is Tumburu, followed by Viśvāvasu. These are the divine Apsarases, endowed with auspicious qualities. Eight great and most excellent Apsarases, worshipped by the gods, were born: Anavadya, Anavaśā, Anvatī, Madanapriyā, Arūṣā, Subhagā, Bhāsī, and Mariṣṭā. Manovatī and Sukeśā, both daughters of Tumburu, and five-crowned divine Apsarases, ten in number, were of divine origin: Menakā, Sahajanyā, Parṇinī, Puñjikasthalā, Ghṛtasthalā, Ghṛtācī, Viśvācī, Pūrvacī, Pramlocā, and Anumlocantī. Urvaśī, the eleventh, was born from the thigh of the beginningless and endless Nārāyaṇa, possessing flawless limbs. Menakā was the daughter of Menā, who delighted the mind of Brahmā. All these were known as speakers of Brahman and as great yoginīs. The groups of Apsarases, numbering fourteen, were virtuous. These fourteen hosts, when summoned, brought splendor to the worlds.
