A lotus arises from Vishnu’s navel as he rests upon Shesha in the waters of dissolution. Brahma appears upon it. Looking in the four directions, he takes on four faces.
Brahma and the lotus
A lotus arises from Vishnu’s navel as he rests upon Shesha in the waters of dissolution. Brahma appears upon it. Looking in the four directions, he takes on four faces.
Seeking the lotus’s origin, Brahma enters its stem but cannot reach its root. He returns and turns to meditation. In time he sees the Lord within his heart and prepares for the work of creation.
