Kardama Prajapati, together with his wife Devahooti, performed great penance over the banks of River Saraswati and by the grace of Lord Vishnu begot nine daughters – Kala, Anasuya, Sradha, Harbhivu, Gati, Kriya, Khyati, Arundhati, Shanti - and a son called Kapilacharya. He wished to give his daughters to worthy sages. He then went to the Nava Brahmas and prayed them to accept his daughters as spouses. He gave  
  1. Kala to Marichi, 
  2. Anasuya to Atri, 
  3. Shraddha to Angirasa, 
  4. Havribhuvu to Pulaha, 
  5. Gati to Pulastya, 
  6. Kriya to Kratu, 
  7. Khyati to Bhrigu, 
  8. Arundhati to Vashishta, and 
  9. Shanti to Adharva and performed their marriages. 
They transcended all physical desires and conducted divine lives. They used the marriage life as vehicle for penance and devotion. Their five senses, limbs, and mind were all dedicated to the service and worship of God. They lived blissful lives.
