TRANSLATION
The she-goat went to the residence of a  brāhmaṇa  who was the maintainer of another she-goat, and that  brāhmaṇa  angrily cut off the he-goat's dangling testicles. But at the he-goat's request, the  brāhmaṇa  later rejoined them by the power of mystic  yoga .
PURPORT
Here Śukrācārya is figuratively described as the husband of another she-goat. This indicates that the relationship between husband and wife in any society, whether higher or lower than human society, is nothing but the same relationship between he-goat and she-goat, for the material relationship between man and woman is one of sex.  Yan maithunādi-gṛhamedhi-sukhaṁ hi tuccham.  Śukrācārya was an  ācārya , or expert, in family affairs, which involve the transfer of semen from he-goat to she-goat. The words  kaścid ajā-svāmī  expressly indicate herein that Śukrācārya was no better than Yayāti, for both of them were interested in family affairs generated by  śukra , or semen. Śukrācārya first cursed Yayāti to become old so that he could no longer indulge in sex, but when Śukrācārya saw that Yayāti's emasculation would make his own daughter a victim of punishment, he used his mystic power to restore Yayāti's masculinity. Because he used his power of mystic  yoga  for family affairs and not to realize the Supreme Personality of Godhead, this exercise in the magic of  yoga  was no better than the affairs of he-goats and she-goats. Yogic power should properly be used to realize the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As the Lord Himself recommends in  Bhagavad-gītā  (6.47):
