Kaśyapa Muni continued: If you perform this ceremony called puṁsavana, adhering to the vow with faith for at least one year, you will give birth to a son destined to kill Indra. But if there is any discrepancy in the discharge of this vow, the son will be a friend to Indra.

Translation
If you perform this ceremony called puṁsavana without violations, you will give birth to a son who is śakra-hā (either the killer of Indra, or follower of Indra).
Puṁsavanam means “giving a son.”
