TEXT 24
- tato hasan sa bhagavān
- asurair nirapatrapaiḥ
- anvīyamānas tarasā
- kruddho bhītaḥ parāpatat
tataḥthen — then; hasanlaughing — laughing; saḥthe worshipful Lord Brahmā bhagavānthe worshipful Lord Brahmā — the worshipful Lord Brahmā; asuraiḥby the demons — by the demons; nirapatrapaiḥshameless — shameless; anvīyamānaḥbeing followed — being followed; tarasāin great haste — in great haste; kruddhaḥangry — angry; bhītaḥbeing afraid — being afraid; parāpatatran away — ran away.
The worshipful Brahmā first laughed at their stupidity, but finding the shameless asuras close upon him, he grew indignant and ran in great haste out of fear.
Sexually inclined demons have no respect even for their father, and the best policy for a saintly father like Brahmā is to leave such demoniac sons.
