The sages said:: Formerly, on account of the intensity of her austerities, Aditi, who is an Araṇī (i.e. source of origin) of the Suras (gods) accommodated in her womb the lord as well as Indra. It was the lord who kept the group of Daityas very much, under check and restraint by the miscarriage of pregnancy (i.e. Daitya women became afraid of the lord so much so that they had abortions).
