   Castration myths - question

   OK, so, I'm absolutely convinced that I read somewhere, many years ago,   
   about a myth from maybe India or Persia that reminds me precisely of the   
   story of Zeus and Cronus: one god goes into the bedroom of another while   
   that second god is in the process of having sex and cuts off his   
   genitals.   
      
   However, I briefly glanced through a bunch of my books on mythology last   
   night, and I couldn't find anything at all.   
      
   Does anyone have an idea as to what it might have been?   
      
   Thanks,   
   Darcy
