''8a.3 Origin of the forefathers and their due worship''
 +
 +
Now learn fully from whom all these (forefathers derive) their origin, and with what ceremonies they ought to be worshipped. (3.193)
 +
 +
The (various) classes of the forefathers are declared to be the sons of all those sages, Marici and the rest, who are children of Manu, the son of Hiranyagarbha.(3.194)
 +
 +
The Somasads, the sons of Virag, are stated to be the forefathers of the Sadhyas, and the Agnishvattas, the children of Marici, are famous in the world (as the forefathers) of the gods. (3.195)
 +
 +
The Barhishads, born of Atri, are recorded to be (the forefathers) of the Daityas, Danavas, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Snake-deities, Rakshasas, Suparnas, and a Kimnaras, (3.196)
 +
 +
The Somapas those of the Brahmanas, the Havirbhugs those of the Kshatriyas, the Agyapas those of the Vaisyas, but the Sukalins those of the Sudras.(3.197)
 +
 +
The Somapas are the sons of Kavi (Bhrigu), the Havishmats the children of Angiras, the Agyapas the offspring of Pulastya, but the Sukalins (the issue) of Vasishtha. (3.198)
 +
 +
One should know that (other classes), the Agnidagdhas, the Anagnidagdhas, the Kavyas, the Barhishads, the Agnishvattas, and the Saumyas, are (the forefathers) of the Brahmanas alone. (3.199)
 +
 +
But know also that there exist in this (world) countless sons and grandsons of those chief classes of forefathers which have been enumerated. (3.200)
 +
 +
From the sages sprang the forefathers, from the forefathers the gods and the Danavas, but from the gods the whole world, both the movable and the immovable in due order. (3.201)
