Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 10
द्वे भार्ये कश्यपस्यास्तां सर्वलोकेष्वनुत्तमे । गरुत्मन्तं च विनतासूत कद्रूरहीनथ
dve bhārye kaśyapasyāstāṃ sarvalokeṣvanuttame | garutmantaṃ ca vinatāsūta kadrūrahīnatha
Kaśyapa teve duas esposas, incomparáveis em todos os mundos. Vinatā deu à luz Garutmān (Garuḍa), e Kadrū deu origem à raça das serpentes, os Nāgas.
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.
