Appalled by the favoritism shown by Angirasa towards his son, Shukra left his guru and became the disciple of the sage Gautama instead.
He married Urjaswathi, daughter of Priavratha. Through her he had four sons:
- Chanda,
- Amarka,
- Twaashtra and
- Dharaatra.
who married the king Yayati of the Chandra vamsha.
He is the preceptor of the Asuras. Though he has forsaken them occasionally, when their deeds have angered him, for the most part, he has helped them avoid destruction at the hand of the Devas.
