Shloka 26
Secondary Creation Begins: Brahmā’s Productions, the Guṇas, and the Emergence of Orders of Beings
पाहि मां परमात्मंस्ते प्रेषणेनासृजं प्रजा: । ता इमा यभितुं पापा उपाक्रामन्ति मां प्रभो ॥ २६ ॥
pāhi māṁ paramātmaṁs te preṣaṇenāsṛjaṁ prajāḥ tā imā yabhituṁ pāpā upākrāmanti māṁ prabho
Nagsalita si Brahmā: “O Paramātmā, Panginoon ko! Sa Iyong utos ko nilikha ang mga nilalang na ito; ang masasamang ito’y sumusugod upang dungisan/salakayin ako. Iligtas Mo ako.”
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.
