श्रूयतां राम शक्रस्य कथां कथयतः श्रुताम् | अस्मिन् देशे हि यद्वृत्तं शृणु तत्त्वेन राघव || १-४५-१४
Oh ! Rama, "I will tell you about the auspicious legend of Indra as I was told, and you listen to it as I tell. Oh ! Raghava, indeed you may now listen to the quintessence of what has happened in this country". [1-45-14]
Once in Krita era ( Satyuga ), oh, Rama, the sons of Lady Diti were extremely energetic, whereas the sons of her younger sister Lady Aditi were vigorous and highly righteous. [1-45-15]
