The 27 daughters of Daksh, who were married to Som are known as the constellations - Nakshatra (stars). Out of these 27 daughters, Chandramaa had special affinity with Rohinee. After observing the special affinity to Rohinee, other daughters complained to Daksh abut his indifference to them. At this Daksh called Chandra and warned him and said that he should not discriminate among his wives. But who hears? Chandramaa continued to love Rohinee more than his other wives.

With all these things, still Chandramaa retained some more affinity with Rohini. It was ignored later. In many temples we can see the idol of Chandramaa with Rohinee only. In Astrology also Chandramaa gets exalted in the Edavaa Raashi (Vrishabh Raashi) at Rohinee star. Lord Krishn is born in Rohinee star on Ashtamee Tithi. Hence we celebrate Ashtamee Rohinee.

Although Chandramaa got married to 27 daughters of Daksh, and sage Kashyap was also married to Daksh's 13 daughters, but still the off springs of Kashyap were many more than Chandramaa, and thus different species have been attributed to be originated by Kashyap in our mythology. This Kashyap is the same Kashyap, who is the son of Brahmaa's son Mareechi.
