Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Daivayoga (दैवयोग) refers to a “stroke of good luck”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.14 (“The Birth of Tāraka and Vajrāṅga”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The distressed Diti sought refuge in Kaśyapa and and serving him with devotion and observing the sacred rites she conceived. On coming to know of it, Indra entered her womb forcibly and cut it off many a time with his thunderbolt. By the power of her sacred rites, the child in the womb did not die as she was sleeping at that time, by a stroke of good luck [i.e., daivayoga]. They were cut into seven pieces and so she had seven sons. [...]”.
