TRANSLATION
When the demigod named Brhaspati was attracted by his
brother’s wife, Mamata, who at that time was pregnant, he desired
to have sexual relations with her. The son within her womb forbid
this, but Brhaspati cursed him and forcibly discharged semen into
the womb of Mamata.
PURPORT
The sex impulse is so strong in this material world that even
Brhaspati, who is supposed to be the priest of the demigods and a very
learned scholar, wanted to have a sexual relationship with his brother’s
pregnant wife. This can happen even in the society of the higher
demigods, so what to speak of human society? The sex impulse is so
strong that it can agitate even a learned personality like Brhaspati.
