Haryaśva (हर्यश्व) refers to the sons of Dakṣa begot by his wife Vīriṇī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.13. Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada:—“[...] Then in his wife Vīriṇī, Dakṣa Prajāpati begot sons named Haryaśvas. O sage, all those sons were devoted to their father and followed the Vedic path. They did not have separate virtues and practices. Advised by their father, O dear one, the sons of Dakṣa went in the western direction for penance in order to create subjects (progeny)”.

Note: The Haryaśvas were the sons of the patriarch Dakṣa, five thousand in number, begotten by him for the purpose of peopling the earth. The sage Nārada dissuaded them from producing offspring and they dispersed themselves through the regions and never returned. H.M. P. 120.
