Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 4: Chapter 30: Verses 48-51
Bhagavan Visnu confers a boon on the Pracetas, who then return to their city and marry the foster-daughter of the trees

Bowing to the commands of Brahma, the Pracetas too married Marisa (the daughter of the trees), through whom Daksa, (a mind-born) son of Brahma (who himself owed his existence to the birthless Lord Narayana) was reborn as a result of his having slighted the great LordSiva. He was the same Daksa who begot, as directed by God, progeny of his choice at the dawn of the Manvantara presided over by Caksu (the sixth Manu), the former creation having been dissolved by flux of time. Even while being born, he overshadowed with his own splendour the brilliance of all resplendent beings and they called him Daksa (dextrous) because of his proficiency in rituals. Having installed him (to the office of the chief of the lords of created beings), Brahma (the beginningless creator) appointed him to the task of extending and preserving the creation, while he (in his turn) charged all the other lords of creation with their respective duties.

Thus ends the thirtieth discourse in Book Four of the great and glorious Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita.
