28. Maitreya said:—The supreme Lord Hari who distinctly sees the mind of other beings perceived the pitiable condition of Brahma and said to him, "Cast off this horrible body"; thus commanded, he cast it off. [And the body thus cast off became the evening time (when the day and the night meet) characterised by the kindling of passion (the desire for women.)]
