Through Māriṣā, King Śūra begot Vasudeva, Devabhāga, Devaśravā, Ānaka, Sṛñjaya, Śyāmaka, Kaṅka, Śamīka, Vatsaka and Vṛka. These ten sons were sinless. When Vasudeva was born, the devatās sounded kettledrums. Therefore Vasudeva, who provided the proper place for the appearance Kṛṣṇa, was also known as Ānakadundubhi (sound of drums). The five daughters of King Śūra, named Pṛthā, Śrutadevā, Śrutakīrti, Śrutaśravā and Rājādhidevī, were Vasudeva's sisters. Śūra gave Pṛthā to his friend Kunti, who had no issue, and therefore another name of Pṛthā was Kuntī. Vasudeva was the place in which the Lord appeared. Among his daughters, Śura gave his daughter Pṛthā to Kunti saying, “Let her be your daughter.”
