236 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 18
PURPORT
Although Kasyapa Muni was eager to fulfill the desire of his wife Diti,
when he heard that she wanted a son to kill Indra his jubilation was im-
mediately reduced to nothing because he was averse to the idea.

TRANSLATION
Kasyapa Muni thought: Alas, I have now become too attached to
material enjoyment. Taking advantage of this, my mind has been
attracted by the illusory energy of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead in the form of a woman [my wife]. Therefore I am surely
a wretched person who will glide down toward hell.
