Matsya Purana — The Pushkara Manifestation, Shloka 30
दक्षस्यापत्यमेता वै कन्या द्वादश पार्थिव मरीचेः कश्यपः पुत्रस् तपसा निर्मितः किल //
dakṣasyāpatyametā vai kanyā dvādaśa pārthiva marīceḥ kaśyapaḥ putras tapasā nirmitaḥ kila //
હે રાજન, આ બાર કન્યાઓ ખરેખર દક્ષની સંતાન છે. અને મરીચિનો પુત્ર કશ્યપ તપશક્તિથી ઉત્પન્ન થયો—એવું કહેવાય છે.

No Vāstu or temple rule is stated here; the ritual takeaway is the Purāṇic emphasis on tapas and progenitor lineages, often recited in genealogical introductions (vaṃśa) for rites and narrative context.
