I own the Shiva Purana and looked in the index.
None of these names is mentioned there...

I agree with you and thought the cellular reference was pertinent and
insightfull. Everything can be understood by looking into ourselves surely
enough.

ohhhhhhhhhh that is where you get your sources, now I understand. Why
dont you quote your sources earlier. You come here and asked
questions : Why is this so and so. Is it true? without quoting your
source of information. Why none of the names mentioned in the Shiva
Purana, beat me but they are mention in the Devi Mahatmaya not as
daughters of Parvati/Shiva but as the Matrikas. I am being told The
Matrikas should always put near to Shiva, facing east.


In Lalitopakhyana

204. The Lalita Parameshwari so manifested, created a male form from
within Herself. His name was Kameshwara.

210. She extended Herself in both male and female forms and continued
the process of creation.

>From the left eye, which was of the nature of Soma (moon) came Brahma
and Lakshmi Devi. From the right eye, which was of the nature of
Soorya (sun) came Vishnu and Parvati. From the third eye, which was
of the nature of Agni (fire), came Rudra and Sarasvati. Lakshmi &
Vishnu, Shiva & Parvati and Brahma & Sarasvati became couples. Lalita
Devi directed them to continue the process of Creation.

211. She herself continued to create certain things.
(i) From her long hair she created darkness.
(ii) From her eyes, she created the sun, the moon and the fire.
(iii) From the pendent hanging in front of her forehead came the stars
(iv) From the chain above her forehead came the nine planets.
(v) From the eyebrows, she created the penal code.
(vi) From her breath, she created the Vedas.
(vii) From her speech, she created poetry and plays.
(viii) From her chin she created the Vedangas.
(ix) From the three lines in her neck, she created various Shaastras.
(x) From her breasts, she created mountains.
(xi) From her mind, she created the power of bliss.
(xii) From her fingernails, she created the 10 incarnations of Vishnu.
(xiii) From her palms, she created the Sandhyas.
(xiv) She created other things as narrated in the Purusha Sookta.
(xv) From her heart, she created Baalaa Devi.
(xvi) From her intellect, she created Shyamala Devi.
(xvii) From her ego, she created Vaaraahi Devi.
(xviii) From her smile, she created Vighneshwara.
(xix) From the Ankusha (a special hook), she created Sampatkaree Devi.
(xx) Form the noose, she created Ashwaa Roodha Devi.
(xxi) From her cheeks, she created Nakuleshvari Devi.
(xxii) From her Kundalini Shakti, she created Gayatri.
(xxiii) From the eight wheels of the Chakra Raja chariot, she created
8 Devatas.

This is in relation to the Matrikas
The tenth Chapter called "The Slaying of Sumbha" of Devi Mahatmya in
Markandeya purana.

4-5 The Devi said :" I am all alone in the world here. Who elseis
there besides me? See, O vile one, these Goddesses, who are but my
own powers, entering into my own self !"

6 Then all those, Brahmani and the rest, were absorbed in the body of
Devi. Ambika alone then remained.

7-8 The Devi said : "The numerous forms which I projected by mypower
here - those have been withdrawn by me ( now) I stand alone. Be
Steadfast in combat "

I am sorry that you find it difficult to digest all these after all
we are a Shakta Group. But I think the concept of Daughter cell as I
describe earlier does apply. The best way to understand and learn is
looking into our own body, the answers are all in there, if only we
know what or where to find it.

It was not my idea that Shiva/Parvati have 8 daughters.
I think I forwarded the messages of the person who wrote this to this group.
Wondering where he found this.
I already asked him but got no reply so far.
He says it is written in Shiva Purana...

I am sorry that you find it difficult to digest all these after all
we are a Shakta Group. But I think the concept of Daughter cell as I

looking into our own body, the answers are all in there, if only we
