When the father shed his seed in hi own daughter, he spilt his seed on earth as he united with her. The god satisfied his lust in his own daughter………”

You can read the notes in this site.
My interpretation is Brahma the mind was attracted to and was seeking Saraswati the Knowledge (which is born from the mind).
