    Seven kinds of mothers according to Vedic injunction

    Namaste all.
    By http://www.krsnabook.com/ch6.html
    There are seven kinds of mothers according to Vedic injunction: the real mother, the wife of a teacher or spiritual master, the wife of a king, the wife of a brahmana, the cow, the nurse and the mother earth.
    I can assure all the ISKCON followers that I trust to these Prabhupada'words.
    I am just curios to know where the scriptures talk about the seven mathers and what is the exact verse.
    Regards,
    Orlando.

    Namaste Orlando,

    The Sapta-Matrika are named in the Mahabharata as:

    Kākī, Halimā, Rudrānī, Brihalī, Aryā, Palālā, and Mitrā.

    काकी च हलिमा चैव रुद्राथ ब्रिहली तथा ।
    आर्या पलाला वै मित्रा सप्तैताः शिशुमातरः ॥


    kākī ca halimā caiva rudrātha brihalī tathā |
    āryā palālā vai mitrā saptaitāh śiśumātarah ||3.217.9||
