### SB 3.20.20

> क्षुत्तृड्भ्यामुपसृष्टास्ते तं जग्धुमभिदुद्रुवुः ।\
> मा रक्षतैनं जक्षध्वमित्यूचुः क्षुत्तृडर्दिताः ॥२०॥

> kṣut-tṛḍbhyām upasṛṣṭās te\
> taṁ jagdhum abhidudruvuḥ\
> mā rakṣatainaṁ jakṣadhvam\
> ity ūcuḥ kṣut-tṛḍ-arditāḥ

*kṣudh-tṛḍbhyām*—by hunger and thirst; *upasṛṣṭāḥ*—were overcome; *te*—the demons (Yakṣas and Rākṣasas); *tam*—Lord Brahmā; *jagdhum*—to eat; *abhidudruvuḥ*—ran towards; *mā*—do not; *rakṣata*—spare; *enam*—him; *jakṣadhvam*—eat; *iti*—thus; *ūcuḥ*—said; *kṣudh-tṛṣ-arditāḥ*—afflicted by hunger and thirst.

**Overpowered by hunger and thirst, they ran to devour Brahmā from all sides and cried, "Spare him not! Eat him up!"**

The representatives of the Yakṣas and Rākṣasas still exist in some countries of the world. It is understood that such uncivilized men take pleasure in killing their own grandfathers and holding a "love feast" by roasting the bodies.
