They were as effulgent as the sun himself. They were always engaged in acquiring the regions of Brahma. Thus have I narrated to you, as I heard them from the Purana, the accounts of the progeny of the Devas and the Danavas of great strength and power. The sons and grandsons, of these (Devas and Danavas) were so numberless that I am incapable of counting them.
तेजसा सूर्यसंकाशा ब्रह्मलोकपरायणाः। इत्येष वंशप्रभवः कथितस्ते तरस्विनाम्। असुराणां सुराणां च पुराणे संश्रुतो मया॥ एतेषां यदपत्यं तु न शक्यं तदशेषतः। प्रसंख्यातुं महीपाल गुणभूतमनन्तकम्॥
