Diti’s Puṁsavana Vow, Indra’s Intervention, and the Birth of the Maruts
दितिरुत्थाय ददृशे कुमाराननलप्रभान् । इन्द्रेण सहितान् देवी पर्यतुष्यदनिन्दिता ॥ ६८ ॥
ditir utthāya dadṛśe kumārān anala-prabhān indreṇa sahitān devī paryatuṣyad aninditā
Par son adoration de la Suprême Personnalité de Dieu, Diti fut entièrement purifiée. En se levantant de sa couche, elle vit ses quarante-neuf fils auprès d’Indra. Tous resplendissaient comme le feu et vivaient en amitié avec Indra ; la déesse irréprochable en fut grandement réjouie.
