After all his sons were convinced by Narad muni to follow the path of devotion and not get into the task of procreation, Daksh produced multiple daughters through his wives Prashuti and Panchajani.

 

27 daughters of Daksh were married to Chandra, who all became 27 nakshatra. 13 daughters were married to Kashyap rishi, who became responsible for giving birth to many life forms. 10 daughters were married to Dharma.
