964 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 24
prabhavaih—by descendants; svaih—their own; brmhayisyanti—they will
increase; aneka-dha—in various ways.
TRANSLATION

Lord Brahma then praised Kardama Muni’s nine daughters, saying: All
your thin-waisted daughters are certainly very chaste. I am sure they will
increase this creation by their own descendants in various ways.

PURPORT

In the beginning of creation, Brahma was concerned more or less with
increasing the population, and when he saw that Kardama Muni had
already begotten nine nice daughters, he was hopeful that through the
daughters many children would come who would take charge of the
creative principle of the material world. He was therefore happy to
see them. The word sumadhyama means a good daughter of a beautiful
woman. If she has a thin waist, a woman is considered very beautiful.
All the daughters of Kardama Muni were of the same beautiful feature.
