who can relate the doings of sentient beings? Beasts that walk on land and birds
traversing the air, and water lost all sense of time and became victims of lust. The whole
world was blinded with passion and agitated. The Cakravåka birds (ruddy geese)*
regarded neither day nor night. Gods, demons, human beings, Kinnaras (a class of demigods),
serpents, evil spirits, fiends, ghosts and vampiresóI have refrained from dwelling
on the condition of these, knowing them to be eternal slaves of passion. Even Siddhas
(spiritual adepts), great sages who had no attraction for the world and Yog∂s (mystics)
gave up their Yoga (contemplative union with God) under the influence of lust. (1ó4)

Even great Yog∂s and ascetics were completely possessed by lust, to say nothing
of low-minded people? Those who till lately looked upon the animate and inanimate
creation as full of Brahma (God) now saw it as full of the fair sex. Women perceived the
whole world as full of men; while the latter beheld it as full of women . For nearly an hour
this wonderful game of Love lasted in the universe.

Nobody could remain self-possessed; the hearts of all were stolen by the god of
love. They alone could hold their own against him, to whom the Hero of Raghuís race
extended His protection. (85)

* The red gander and goose are said to unite only during the daytime. They cannot meet at night even
if there is no physical barrier between them. During the brief span of time referred to above they ignored this
natural bar and met even during the night.
