'Oh ! Indra ( the eliminator of demon Bala ), this embryo of mine is sliced into seven segments owing to my own misdeed, oh ! ruler of gods ( Indra ), indeed there is no iniquity of yours in this matter.' ( Thus Diti started speaking to Indra ). [1-47-2]

'Oh ! son ( Indra ), let these seven sons of mine become the seven presiding deities of Cosmic Air Divisions and let them move in heaven with heavenly forms'. [1-47-4]
'One from the seven may permeate Brahma's abode, likewise another may permeate the heaven of Indra, and even the third one, let him become a greatly celebrated and reputed as Divine Wind, and he may circulate in entire universe'. [1-47-5]
