Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: My dear King, after thus pacifying the Pracetās, Soma, the king of the moon, gave them the beautiful girl born of Pramlocā Apsarā. The Pracetās all received Pramlocā’s daughter, who had high, very beautiful hips, and married her according to the religious system.

After Soma's pacification, the Pracetās all married Māriṣā in accordance with the Vedic system. Anger transmuted in the right setting becomes the foundation of new generations.
