Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 10
द्वे भार्ये कश्यपस्यास्तां सर्वलोकेष्वनुत्तमे । गरुत्मन्तं च विनतासूत कद्रूरहीनथ
dve bhārye kaśyapasyāstāṃ sarvalokeṣvanuttame | garutmantaṃ ca vinatāsūta kadrūrahīnatha
कश्यपाच्या दोन भार्या होत्या, ज्या सर्व लोकांत अनुपम होत्या। विनतेने गरुत्मान् (गरुड) प्रसविला आणि कद्रूने नागकुल उत्पन्न केले।
Mārkaṇḍeya
Scene: A calm āśrama setting: Prajāpati Kaśyapa seated with two radiant wives; behind them symbolic emergence—Garuḍa as a golden-winged divine bird and Nāgas as coiled serpents—shown as destiny rather than literal childbirth.
