The eleven younger daughters were [... Sambhūti,...]. The great aspirants [Marīci] and others took the hands of these famous daughters (e.g., Sambhūti married Marīci).

Thus according to their own actions and at the bidding of Śiva innumerable famous Brahmins were born out of the various living beings”.

Sambhūti (सम्भूति) refers to one of the daughters of Dakṣa and Prasūti: one of the two daughters of Manu-svāyaṃbhuva and Śatarūpā, according to the Vaṃśa (‘genealogical description’) of the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, Ākūti was married to Ruci and Prasūti to Dakṣa. Dakṣa produced in Prasūti twenty-four daughters. [...] [Sambhūti was given to Marīci.] From Marīci and Sambhūti, a son named Paurṇamāsa and four daughters Śraddhā etc. were born.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Saṃbhūti (संभूति) refers to the “manifestation” (of one’s descent into the world), according to the according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, as the God says to the Goddess: “O beloved, my seed to which I referred (previously) was initially in the Sky without support, that is, in the supreme, unmanifest, and imperishable Void, held (there), O supreme mistress, by the unmanifest Wind. O you who are born of Akula, an (incarnate) aspect of myself will come into being there. His Śakti will be very powerful and possess his same nature. The manifestation (avatāra-saṃbhūti) of his descent (into the world) was told to you before. O goddess, the manifestation (saṃbhūti) of Vṛkṣanātha will come forth from that. [...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
