Miraculous birth via holy spirit

She was the wife of King Dasharatha. She desperately wanted sons and prayed to Vishnu, who granted her desire.

He generously supplied a large noggin of Soma. As soon as she drank this miraculous mixture she fell preganant. Twins duly arrived, Lakshmana and Shatrughna, who were both quarter-godly.
