That embryo became divided into seven. Enraged again,
the crusher of foes cut each of them into seven with his thunderbolt.
At that sound of weeping, Diti awoke.
Distressed, she said to Śakra: 'What wretched deed is this that you have done?'
Terrified, Puraṃdara came out through the opening of the womb.
Then, going to the goddess's side, he fell at her feet:
'O goddess, you fell asleep impure, resting your head upon your feet.
Done by me who feared my own death, you should forgive it.'
Being addressed thus, the goddess said these words to Śakra:
'Well done, good son, it is not a misdeed for you.
Yet I shall say something; do it, O crusher of foes:
You are my own son, O god; protect them as well if you wish.'
'Yes,' said Indra, 'so it shall be, without doubt.'
And they became the gods called the Maruts, O bull of the Bharatas.
