Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 23
ताम्रायाः श्येनगृध्राद्यास्तिमेर्यादोगणास्तथा । अथ कश्यपपत्नीनां यत्प्रसूदमिदं जगत्
tāmrāyāḥ śyenagṛdhrādyāstimeryādogaṇāstathā | atha kaśyapapatnīnāṃ yatprasūdamidaṃ jagat
Aus Tāmrā gingen Falken, Geier und andere derartige Vögel hervor; aus Timi entstanden ebenso Scharen von Wasserwesen, wie die Timiryas und verwandte Gruppen. So wird verkündet, dass diese Welt die Nachkommenschaft der Gemahlinnen Kaśyapas ist.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: A panoramic creation scene: Tāmrā as a copper-hued mother releasing hawks and vultures; Timi as a deep-ocean mother releasing aquatic hosts; Kaśyapa presides as the cosmic patriarch; the world shown as their collective offspring.
