दितेर्गर्भभङ्गो मरुत्प्रतिष्ठा च (Diti’s Severed Embryo and the स्थापना of the Maruts; Viśālā-nagara Lineage)
वातस्कन्धा: इमे सप्त चरन्तु दिवि पुत्रक ।मारुता इति विख्याता दिव्यरूपा ममात्मजा:।।।।
vātaskandhā ime sapta carantu divi putraka | mārutā iti vikhyātā divyarūpā mamātmajāḥ ||
O son, let these seven—my radiant sons—move in the heavens as the Vāta-skandhas, famed by the name ‘Maruts’.
O! Son, all these seven are my sons of celestial beauty.They will become pesiding deities for Vata Skandha (divisions of wind) and let them be well-known as maruts wandering in the universe.
A dharmic response to suffering: blessing and assigning purpose, so that loss becomes service within the cosmic order.
Diti specifies how the seven should exist—moving in the heavens as wind-hosts and being known as the Maruts.
Benevolence—Diti speaks as a mother who confers dignity and divine function upon her offspring.
