Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSannati (सन्नति) is one of the twenty-four daughters of Dakṣa by Prasūti: one of the three daughters of Svāyambhuvamanu and Śatarūpā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.16:—“Dakṣa begot twenty-four daughters. The eleven younger daughters were [... Sannati,...]. The great aspirants [Kratu] and others took the hands of these famous daughters (e.g., Sannati married the excellent sage Kratu). Thereupon the entire universe consisting of three worlds, mobile and immobile was filled (with progeny). Thus according to their own actions and at the bidding of Śiva innumerable famous Brahmins were born out of the various living beings”.
