From the rays of the sacrificial fire originated another called Marichi. From Marichi (afterwards) sprang Kashyapa. It has been already said that from the (burning) charcoals originated Angiras. The dwarf Rishis called Valikhillyas originated from the blades of Kusha grass spread out in that sacrifice.
मरीचिभ्यो मरीचिस्तु मारीचः कश्यपो ह्यभूत्। अङ्गारेभ्योऽङ्गिरास्तात वालखिल्याः कुशोच्चयात्।।
