General.

A daughter of 顿补办峁�a 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈. She was married to 碍补艣测补辫补, grandson of 叠谤补丑尘腻 and son of 惭补谤墨肠颈. She had many sisters, chief among whom were Aditi, 碍腻濒腻, 顿补苍腻测耻蝉, Danu, 厂颈峁僪颈办腻, 碍谤辞诲丑腻, 笔峁泃丑腻, 痴颈艣惫腻, 痴颈苍补迟腻, 碍补辫颈濒腻, Muni and 碍补诲谤奴. 碍补艣测补辫补鈥檚 sons by Aditi became Devas (膧诲颈teyas) and his sons by Diti became Asuras (Daityas). (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 膧诲颈 Parva, Chapter 65).

Indra cut Diti鈥檚 embryo to pieces.

Devas and Asuras agreed to churn the ocean of milk as a joint endeavour. But when 础尘峁泃补 rose up to the surface, they began to quarrel over it. In the battle between Devas and Asuras for the possession of 础尘峁泃补, Diti鈥檚 sons were killed.

In her inconsolable grief at the death of her sons, Diti prayed to her husband 碍补艣测补辫补 that she should be blessed with a brave and heroic son who would be capable of killing Indra. The sage granted her the boon and told her that by worshipping the lord with a pure mind and body for a hundred years, she would bear a son who would be mighty enough to kill Indra. In due course Diti became pregnant and following her husband鈥檚 advice, she fervently worshipped the Lord and remained pure in mind and body. When Indra came to know that the child in Diti鈥檚 womb was to be his slayer, he approached her under the disguise of an attendant, offering to serve her. He waited for an opportunity to get access to her and before the expiry of a hundred years he got a chance. One day, Diti went to bed without washing her feet and fell asleep. Indra took his Vajra and gaining access to her womb cut the embryo within it into seven pieces. The child in the womb began to cry loudly. Indra asked it "M膧 RUDA" (Do not cry). Then he proceeded to cut each of the seven pieces again into seven and finally there were fortynine pieces in all. They subsequently became Devas known as "Maruts." They got the name Maruts because Indra told them "M膩 Ruda." All the fortynine Maruts later on became the helpers of Indra. (痴颈峁ａ箛耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Part 1, Chapter 21).

Diti鈥檚 sons.

Asuras were Diti鈥檚 sons. Chief among them were 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 and 贬颈谤补峁噛腻办峁�a. They had a sister named 厂颈峁僪颈办腻. 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 had four sons鈥擜nuhl膩da, 贬濒腻诲补, 笔谤补丑濒腻诲补 and 厂补峁僪濒腻诲补 who were famous for their glory and might. 艢奴rapadma, 厂颈峁僪补惫补办迟谤补, 罢腻谤补办腻蝉耻谤补, Gomukha and 础箩腻尘耻办丑补 were also Diti鈥檚 sons. Of them, 艢奴rapadma had four sons by his wife Mayasut膩, who were Bh膩nukopa, Agnimukha, Vajrab膩hu and 贬颈谤补峁噛补. An asura named Mah膩艣奴ra was born to 厂颈峁僪补惫补办迟谤补 by his wife, 痴颈产丑奴迟颈. The Asuras, 艢补尘产补谤补, 艢补办耻苍颈, Dvim奴rdh膩, 艢补峁卥耻, 础艣惫补, were the sons of 贬颈谤补峁噛腻办峁�a. 厂颈峁僪颈办腻 married Vipracitti; 搁腻丑耻 and Ketu were born to them. 厂补峁僪濒腻诲补, the son of 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 had three sons, 膧yu峁�m膩n, 艢颈产颈 and 叠腻峁�k补濒补. Virocana was the son of 笔谤补丑濒腻诲补; 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 was the son of Virocana; 叠腻峁嘺 was born to 惭补丑腻产补濒颈 and to 叠腻峁嘺 were born four crores of 狈颈惫腻迟补办补惫补肠补蝉. All these were the prominent children of Diti. Besides them, Diti had crores of other Asuras born to her. (痴颈峁ａ箛耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Part 1, Chapter 3; 贬补谤颈惫补峁兣沘, Chapter 3).

Birth of 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 and 贬颈谤补峁噛腻办峁�a.

贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 and 贬颈谤补峁噛腻办峁�a were the rebirth of Jaya and Vijaya, the two gate-keepers of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. (See under Jaya). There is a story as to how they were born as the sons of Diti.

Diti was one of the wives of 碍补艣测补辫补. She had no children while the other wives of 碍补艣测补辫补 had children. Jealousy and grief rankled in her mind. One day she approached 碍补艣测补辫补 and pressed him to beget a son for her. It was the time of dusk when 碍补艣测补辫补 was deeply absorbed in his day鈥檚 devotional worship. She disturbed his "顿丑测腻苍补" (devotional concentration) by her importunity, but he was reluctant to yield to her wishes at such an inauspicious time. It is at dusk that 艢颈惫补 goes about with his attendant hordes of spirits, wearing the crown of his matted hair covered with the dust carried by the whirlwinds from cremation grounds and keeping his three eyes wide open. 碍补艣测补辫补 asked Diti to wait for a few minutes, until that terrible time was over, but she did not heed his advice. In the fury of her passion she sprang towards him and stripped him of his clothes and in the end 碍补艣测补辫补 yielded to her carnal desires. But after the act he in a repentant mood told her that she had defiled her mind by having sexual union in that unholy hour and by doing so had sinned against the gods. As a result, twin sons will be born in her womb. They would persecute and torture the three worlds. 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 would incarnate to destroy them. But since she also felt a little regret in her act, a grandson of her (笔谤补丑濒腻诲补) will become a devotee of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. Twin sons, 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 and 贬颈谤补峁噛腻办峁�a were born to Diti. For the rest of the story, see under 贬颈谤补峁噛补ka艣pu and 贬颈谤补峁噛腻办峁�a. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, Prathama Skandha).
