It is mentioned in Agni Pur膩峁嘺, Chapter 20 that some classes of manes such as Agni峁膩ttas, 叠补谤丑颈峁诲s, Anagnis, and S膩gnis are said to have derived from Brahm膩. Brahm膩 created two different sets of Pit峁泂, Agni峁膩ttas and 叠补谤丑颈峁诲s. (Chapter 10, A峁兣沘m 1, Vi峁ａ箛u Pur膩峁嘺).
These 叠补谤丑颈峁诲s who are members of the Yamasabh膩 (council of the God of Death) perform the m膩ntric rites for the dead. The name brings into its fold the world of the seven sacred sages also. (Chapter 208, 艢膩nti Parva, Mah膩bh膩rata). It was through these 叠补谤丑颈峁诲s that Brahm膩 taught S膩tvatadharma to a brahmin who became wellknown later as Jye峁ａ弓ha. (Chapter 34, 艢loka 45, 艢膩nti Parva, Mah膩bh膩rata).
Manusm峁泃i states that the 叠补谤丑颈峁诲s are the sons of the Mahar峁 Atri and the Pit峁泂 of all the Daityas, D膩navas, Yak峁s, Gandharvas, Uragas, R膩k峁sas, Suvar峁嘺s and Kinnaras.
