When they were in pain.
The reason why this pain signifies evil desires is that circumcision signifies purification from the love of self and of the world, and all the desire of the flesh is from these loves, and is therefore signified by this "pain," because when a man is being purified from these loves, as is the case when he is being regenerated, he is in pain and anxiety, and it is the evil desires then being removed which are in pain and anguish.
