Srimad Valmiki Ramayana

Jatayu shifts from the avian lineage to terrestrial animals, tracing them to Krodhavasha, another wife of Kashyapa. The name 'Krodhavasha' literally means "one under the sway of anger," hinting at the fierce or wild nature of her progeny. She produced ten daughters, starting with Mrigi, Mrigamanda, Hari, and Bhadramada. The term 'atmasambhavah' suggests these daughters were born of her own essence or self-will. This genealogical map explains the diversity of wildlife Rama encounters in the Dandaka forest, categorizing them not just biologically but spiritually by their divine matriarchs.
