One of the remaining two daughters was given in charity to the Pitṛloka, where she resides very amicably, and the other was given to Lord Śiva, who is the deliverer of sinful persons from material entanglement. The names of the thirteen daughters of Dakṣa who were given to Dharma are Śraddhā, Maitrī, Dayā, Śānti, Tuṣṭi, Puṣṭi, Kriyā, Unnati, Buddhi, Medhā, Titikṣā, Hrī and Mūrti. These thirteen daughters produced the following sons: Śraddhā gave birth to Śubha, Maitrī produced Prasāda, Dayā gave birth to Abhaya, Śānti gave birth to Sukha, Tuṣṭi gave birth to Muda, Puṣṭi gave birth to Smaya, Kriyā gave birth to Yoga, Unnati gave birth to Darpa, Buddhi gave birth to Artha, Medhā gave birth to Smṛti, Titikṣā gave birth to Kṣema, and Hrī gave birth to Praśraya. Mūrti, a reservoir of all respectable qualities, gave birth to Śrī Nara-Nārāyaṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

He gave one daughter to the Pitṛs combined and one daughter to Śiva, who destroys material existence. The names of the thirteen daughters of Dakṣa who were given to Dharma are Śraddhā, Maitrī, Dayā, Sānti, Tuṣṭi, Puṣṭi, Kriyā, Unnati, Buddhi, Medhā, Titikṣā, Hrī and Mūrti. Śraddhā gave birth to Śubha, Maitrī produced Prasāda, Dayā gave birth to Abhaya. Yuktebhaḥ means together. By the original meaning of the words the daughters starting with Śraddhā are the presiding deities of various śaktis of ṣattva-guṇa. These daughters had corresponding qualities.

Personal Guidance

Dharma received thirteen daughters and Śiva 'the deliverer of sinful persons' received one — the family dispersed itself across the principles that hold society together. Diversification of dharma serves the whole.

Reflection Questions

Am I serving only one slice of dharma when many are needed?
Where could I diversify my service to support what holds society together?
