*VEDIK GNAN*
According to Brahma Purana , Shatarupa is regarded as the first woman to be created by Brahma along with Manu.
Shatarupa married Svayambhuva Manu and had five children — two sons, Priyavrata and Uttanapada, and three daughters, Akutii, Devahuti and Prasuti. Manu handed over his first daughter Akuti to the sage Ruci, the middle daughter, Devahuti, to the sage Kardama, and the youngest, Prasuti, to the god Daksha. So Manu and Shatrupa had two sons name Priyavrata and Uttanapada.
Priyavrata married Kamya, the daughter of patriarch Kardama, Uttanapada, younger son of Manu and Shatrupa, he had two wives, Suniti and Suruchi. By his wife Suniti he had a son name Dhruv. He was a devotee of Vishnu as mentioned in Vishnu Purana and the Bhagwat Purana.
