al Sar Ahad aot Saag AT TAT URI

pahi mam paramatmams te

ta ima yabhitum papa
upakramanti mam prabho

pahi—protect; mam—me; paramatman—O Supreme Lord; te—Your;
presapena—by order; asrjam—1 created; prajah—living beings; tah imah—
those very persons; yabhitum—to have sex; papah—sinful beings; upa-
kramanti—are approaching; mam—me; prabho—O Lord.

TRANSLATION

Lord Brahma, 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.

PURPORT

It appears here that the homosexual appetite of males for each other is
created in this episode of the creation of the demons by Brahma. 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.
