Birth
The sun married the daughter of विश्वकर्मा named संज्ञा . She gave birth to three children named मनु , यम and यमी . Once, being unable to bear the radiance of her husband, संज्ञा went to the forest to do penance. During this period छाया the maid of संज्ञा attended on the sun. Three children, शनैश्चर , मनु and तपती were born to the Sun of छाया . Once छाया cursed यम . Then only did the Sun remember about संज्ञा . At that time संज्ञा had been doing penance in the forest in the form of a mare. The Sun took the form of a horse and lived with her in the forest. From this union अश्विनीकुमारस् and also the last son रेवन्त were born. (Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa 3, Chapter 2) .
