Shatarupa () is the daughter of the creator deity, Brahma. According to Brahma Purana, Shatarupa is regarded as the first woman to be created by Brahma, marrying Manu, the first man. Their descendants are called manushya, the Sanskrit term for mankind.
The Bhagavata Purana mentions the birth of Shatarupa, and her marriage to Manu:
In other texts, it is the manasaputra, the mind-born children of Brahma, who are believed to have created the first man, Svayambhuva Manu, and the first woman, Shatarupa.
Shatarupa marries Svayambhuva, and the couple had five children â two sons, Priyavrata and UttÃÂnapÃÂda, and three daughters, ÃÂkà «ti, Devahà «ti, and Prasuti. Manu handed over his first daughter ÃÂkà «ti to the sage Ruci, the middle daughter, Devahà «ti, to the Prajapati Kardama, and the youngest, Prasà «ti, to Daksha.
