Diti thought: Indra considers his body eternal, and thus he has become unrestrained. I therefore wish to have a son who can remove Indra’s madness. Let me adopt some means to help me in this.
Purport
One who is in the bodily conception of life is compared in the śāstras to animals like cows and asses. Diti wanted to punish Indra, who had become like a lower animal.

Translation
Because of his evil actions, may I have a son who can destroy the pride of uncontrolled Indra, who thinks he is eternal!
May I have a son to destroy Indra’s pride, because of his evil actions (yena)! This is my prayer. Indra thinks his body is eternal, and has an uncurbed mind.
