Dear François.At Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa (criticism. ed.) 3.13.10 ff. Jaṭāyus tells Rāma the history of Dakṣa’s sixty (not fifty or sixteen) daughters. Eight of them, who become the wives of Kaśyapa are named and, Jaṭāyus says that they became, respectively, the mothers of various gods and daityas as well as various species of animals.Dr. R. P.

Bonjour,
Where can I find the legend of Daksha's 50 daughters, 27 of them were
married to Candra.
I could find that Daksha had 16 daughters but not 50...
Thank you.
