Verse 6.94.65

शिखिध्वज उवाच ।
पितामहानां पुत्राणां पितृणां च जगत्त्रये ।
आद्यः पितामहः कस्मात्पूर्वोत्पत्तौ न कारणम् ॥ ६५ ॥

śikhidhvaja uvāca |
pitāmahānāṃ putrāṇāṃ pitṛṇāṃ ca jagattraye |
ādyaḥ pitāmahaḥ kasmātpūrvotpattau na kāraṇam || 65 ||

Sikhidvaja said:—Now tell me sir, why should not our parents be taken as the causes of our production, who had our grandfathers and grandmothers for the causes or seeds of their birth likewise; and why should we not reckon our first great grandfather (Brahma), as the prime progenitor of the human race?
