Lord Brahma, along with Lord Siva, saw the
crystal-clear personal beauty of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, whose blackish body
resembles a marakata gem, whose eyes are
reddish like the depths of a lotus, who is
dressed with garments that are yellow like
molten gold, and whose entire body is
attractively decorated. They saw His beautiful,
smiling, lotuslike face, crowned by a helmet
bedecked with valuable jewels. The Lord has
attractive eyebrows, and His cheeks are adorned
with earrings.
Lord Brahma and Lord Siva saw the belt on the
Lord's waist, the bangles on His arms, the
necklace on His chest, and the ankle bells on
His legs. The Lord is bedecked with flower
garlands, His neck is decorated with the
Kaustubha gem, and He carries with Him the
goddess of fortune and His personal weapons,
like His disc and club. When Lord Brahma, along
with Lord Siva and the other demigods, thus
saw the form of the Lord, they all immediately
fell to the ground, offering their obeisances.

prosperity to those who want it: and freedom from death like the
cucumber from its vine for those who follow his lead in worshipping
Lord Vishnu.”
