TEXT 26
- pāhi māṁ paramātmaṁs te
- preṣaṇenāsṛjaṁ prajāḥ
- tā imā yabhituṁ pāpā
- upākrāmanti māṁ prabho
pāhiprotect — protect; māmme — me; paramaO Supreme Lord-ātmanO Supreme Lord — O Supreme Lord; teYour — Your; preṣaṇenaby order — by order; asṛjamI created — I created; prajāḥliving beings — living beings; tāḥthose very persons imāḥthose very persons — those very persons; yabhitumto have sex — to have sex; pāpāḥsinful beings — sinful beings; upākrāmantiare approaching — are approaching; māmme — me; prabhoO Lord — O Lord.
Lord Brahmā, approaching the Lord, addressed Him thus: My Lord, please protect me from these sinful demons, who were created by me under Your order. They are infuriated by an appetite for sex and have come to attack me.
It appears here that the homosexual appetite of males for each other is created in this episode of the creation of the demons by Brahmā. In other words, the homosexual appetite of a man for another man is demoniac and is not for any sane male in the ordinary course of life.
