Sūta said: On the day of Sautya (i.e. the day on which the juice of Soma is to be extracted), when the sacrifice Atirātra was to be performed, Kaśyapa was seated in a separate seat well known as Hiraṇyakaśipu at the time of Aśvamedha (Horse sacrifice). The son came out of Diti’s Garbha (womb) and sat (near Kaśyapa’s golden seat) in different places all round. Due to this activity, he is remembered as Hiraṇyakaśipu.”
