Shrimad Valmiki Ramayanam - Chapter46 Balakandam Recitation with lyrics

Diti seeks for a son to kill Indra because Indra and other gods have killed her sons in the battle after churning Milk Ocean. But Indra, being her stepson arrives at her place of asceticism, with view to destroy that foetus. On a fateful day when Diti failed to maintain the procedure of vow, Indra enters her womb and cuts the foetus into seven fragments, which later become sapta marut gaNa-s, The Seven Wind-gods.
