Upon hearing
Diti's request,
Kasyapa Muni was very much aggrieved. "Alas," he lamented, "now I face the danger of the impious act of killing
Indra."
Although
Kasyapa Muni was eager to fulfill the desire of his wife
Diti, when he heard that she wanted a son to kill
Indra his jubilation was immediately reduced to nothing because he was averse to the idea.
