Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 3.9.11

Sakalya said: 'Whosoever knows that person whose dwelling is love (a body capable of sensual love), whose sight is the heart, whose mind is light.—the principle of every self, he indeed is a teacher, O Yagnavalkya.' Yagnavalkya replied: 'I know that person, the principle of every self, of whom thou speakest. This love-made (loving) person, he is he." But tell me, Sakalya, who is his devata?' Sakalya replied: 'The women.'

In plain words: Sakalya asks about the being whose home is desire and love. Yagnavalkya says it is the loving person, the self full of desire. Sakalya says its deity is women.
