On being questioned by Kaśyapa, Diti said that she wanted to be mother of such a progeny as would kill Lord Indra and conquer all the Devas. Kaśyapa promised to beget such a child from her womb when the sage Âpastamba performed a putreṣṭi sacrifice. The sage Âpstamba eventually began to perform the sacrifice.—30-34. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 7.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.30) - [Next: 7.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.32) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.7.p28) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.7.31) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [Śivapurāṇa (complete text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.siva*complete-2.5.33.5) — Sanskrit - [Brahmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahma.3.111) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (critical edition)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*crit.1.21.31) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.31) · Pramāṇa
