सप्तधा तु कृते गर्भे दितिः परमदुःखिता ।
सहस्राक्षं दुराधर्षं वाक्यं सानुनयाs ब्रवीत् ॥

With foetus being made into seven pieces Diti was full of sorrow. Yet she spoke in appealing manner to Indra who cannot be defeated.

Balakanda
Forty seventh Sarga

Viswamitra Continued narrating the story of Diti to Rama and Lakshmana.

'With foetus being made into seven pieces Diti was full of sorrow. Yet she spoke in appealing manner to Indra who cannot be defeated. "This pregnancy has failed because of my fault. O Conqueror of Bala ! Oh Best of Gods! There is no fault of yours in this. Although my foetus has been cut into seven pieces I would like to do my best for them. These seven will be the leaders of seven places. My children in celestial forms will be leaders of Seven Vayus and will be known in the celestial world as 'Maruts'. One of them will be moving in the Brahma Loka. One another in Indra Loka. The third will be very well known and attain fame with the name 'Vayu'. Oh Indra ! The remaining four will follow your direction and move in the four directions, Oh Devabhuta ! They attain the name "Maruta" based on the your acts when you said to them 'Ma rud' ".

Indra, the destroyer of Bala and also called Purandara, having heard the words of Diti, and bowing to her solemnly spoke as follows. "Oh Mother It shall happen as you stated. Your sons will move about in celestial forms. May all auspicious things happen to you."

Viswamitra continued.

' Oh Rama ! It is understood that the mother and the son having thus decided in that grove of penance and having achieved their objective went back to the heavens Kakutstha ! This is the place where Indra served Diti when undertook her penance. Oh Tiger among men !There was king by name Ikshvaku who is very righteous. He had a son by name Visala through 'Alambusa.'

Viswamitra continued.

'In the name of King Visala only the city of Visala was made here. Oh Rama ! Hemachandra was the son of Visala. After Hemachandra Suchandra has attained fame. Oh Rama ! Dhumraasva is hear to be the son of Suchandra. Dhumraasva's son is Srunjaya. Srunjaya's son Sahadeva has all auspicious qualities and is great warrior. Sahadeva's son is Kusaasva who is righteous person. Kusaasva's son is Somadatta who is illustrious and powerful. Somadatta's son is head to be Kakustha,
.His is son is very powerful and cannot be defeated. His name is Sumati.Presently he is ruling this place. Because of Ikshvakus grace all the rulers of Visala were righteous, powerful and were with long life'.

'O Rama to night we will stay here and rest. Tomorrow we will be on our way to see Janaka'.

Having come to know of the arrival of Viswamitra, The powerful Sumati who is the best among men and who has lot of fame came ahead to receive the sage. Having received him along with his priests and relatives , he paid obeisance to sage Viswamitra and spoke to him as follows. "Oh Sage ! I am gratified. With your visit I have been blessed. I have your Darshan too. There can be nothing more auspicious than that!"

Thus ends the Sarga forty Seven of Balakanda in Valmiki Ramayan.
