Translation
O King Parīkṣit, Diti, the wife of Kaśyapa, agreed to undergo the purificatory process known as puṁsavana. “Yes,” she said, “I shall do everything according to your instructions.” With great jubilation she became pregnant, having taken semen from Kaśyapa, and faithfully began discharging the vow.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
O King! Diti agreed to undergo this vow. With great jubilation, taking semen from Kaśyapa, she followed the vow properly.
