Family

• Daksha(parent),Prasuti(parent),Aditi(sibling),Kadru(sibling),Rati(sibling),Sati(sibling),Vinata(sibling)— Marriage

  Daksha and Prasuti begot numerous daughters whose marriages shaped the cosmos — Aditi bore the Adityas, Diti the Daityas, Kadru the Nagas, Vinata the eagles, and Rati became goddess of desire, while Sati's union with Shiva would end in self-immolation at her father's ill-fated yajna.

• Kashyapa(spouse),Hiranyakashipu(child),Hiranyaksha(child)— Marriage

  Kashyapa and Diti conceived the twin Daitya brothers Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha, whose tyranny over gods and men would require Vishnu to descend twice as Varaha and Narasimha to destroy them.
