Two heavenly maids, O Prince, of yore,
Gandharví—dear to fame is she—
And her sweet sister Rohiṇí.
With kine this daughter filled each mead,
And bright Gandharví bore the steed.[447]
Surasá bore the serpents:[448] all
The snakes Kadrú their mother call.
Then Manu, high-souled Kaśyap's[449] wife,
To all the race of men gave life,
The Bráhmans first, the Kshatriya caste,
