paulomyām indra ādhatta

O King Parīkṣit, Indra, the eleventh son of Aditi, begot three sons, named Jayanta, Ṛṣabha and Mīḍhuṣa, in the womb of his wife, Paulomī. Thus we have heard.
|| 6.18.8 ||
urukramasya devasya

kīrtau patnyāṁ bṛhacchlokas
tasyāsan saubhagādayaḥ
Urukrama, or Vāmana, the twelfth son of Aditi, who appeared through the Lord’s spiritual potency, begot one son, named Bṛhatśloka, in the womb of his wife Kīrti. Bṛhatśloka had many sons, headed by Saubhaga.
Māyā here refers to the eternal svarūpa-śakti of the Lord, which is also called māyā. Madhva gives the following scriptural evidence for this meaning. Ato māyāmayaṁ viṣṇuṁ pravadanti manīṣiṇaḥ: the wise called Viṣṇu the person made of māyā.

I will now describe the demon sons of Diti, who were begotten by Kaśyapa. In this demoniac family the great devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja and Bali Mahārāja also appeared.
Here a new subject begins. Dāyadān means sons. Daiteyān means the sons of Diti.
