Bāhuputra
Bāhuputra
Bāhuputra is named in the Uttara Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa. Bhagavān Śrī Kṛshṇa tells Yudhishṭhira that when Prajāpati Daksha saw his sons the Haryaśvas turned from creation, he brought forth sixty daughters, Satyā and the others, and gave ten to Dharma, thirteen to Kaśyapa, twenty-seven to Candra, two to Bāhuputra, two to Kṛśāśva, four to Arishṭanemi, one to Bhṛgu and one to Śaṅkara. From these the moving and unmoving world arose. The Brahma Purāṇa, naming him Bahuputra, tells the same gift of two daughters and names his offspring, the four Vidyuts, the lightnings.

Per Brahma Purāṇa
Per Brahma Purāṇa, where the name is given as Bahuputra, the Sūta Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis that Daksha, knowing that his sons were lost, begot sixty daughters and gave ten to Dharma, thirteen to Kaśyapa, twenty-seven to Soma, four to Arishṭanemi, two to Bahuputra, two to Aṅgiras and two to the learned Kṛśāśva. The offspring of the wise Bahuputra were the four Vidyuts, the lightnings.
