Matsya Deva described to Vaivaswata Manu about Pitru Vamsha in Swarga, comprising seven ‘Ganas’, of whom three were ‘Murtirahit’ (without Swarupa) and four Murtimaan (with Swarupa), all of whom were highly resplendent. The Formless Pitru ganas were the progeny of Vairaja Prajapati whom Devaganas worship too. These ‘Vairajas’ had earlier attained Paralokas but due to reversions in Yoga Marga taking rebirth as Brahmavadis at the end of Brahma’s each day but enjoyed the memory of previous births. They attained siddhi by yoga and hence only the material meant for Shraddhaas were to be offered to them. Devi Mena the wife of Himavant and mother of Devi Parvati was the Maanasi Kanya of Pitrus. Mena and Himavant gave birth to two sons viz. Krauncha of the Krauncha Dwipa surrounded by ghrita (Ghee) and Minaka besides three daughters viz. Uma, Ekaparni and Aparni –all the members of the family were practioners of Yoga. The daughters were wedded to Shiva, Sita and Jogeeshva respectively. In the earlier ‘Avatar’, Devi Uma was famed as Devi Sati, who was the daughter of Daksha Prajapati and the wife of Lord Rudra. Daksha organised a Maha Yagna but did not invite Lord Rudra due to his hatred for him. Devi Sati attended the function uninvited and asked as to why he did not invite her husband. He replied that Rudra was inauspicious since he was in charge of destruction and hence was ineligible to attend theYagna. He also abused Rudra as an associate of piscachas and subhumam evil spirits. Devi Sati felt insulted and infuriated and said that she was getting rid of the body which she got from him and gave a curse to him that he would in his next birth become the son of ten fathers and that he would be killed by Rudra’s men as soon as she would sacrifice her body by Yogaagni. Daksha repented and requested her vision again and again at various Tirtha yatras. Devi Sati replied: Sarvada Sarva bhuteshu drushtavya Sarvato bhuvi, Sarava kaaleshu yat kinchit rahitam na mayaa bina/ Tathaapi yeshu Sthaaneshu drushtavya siddhimeepsubhih, Smartavya Bhutikaamairwy taani Vakshyaami tatvatah/
(Daksha! As a matter of fact, there would be no place where one could find without me. However, if somebody wishes to have my darshan, they could do so at the specified Tirthas.).

Those who read the names with shraddha and Bhakti would never be unhappy but would be always contented.
