Transmission of Bhāgavata Wisdom and Brahmā’s Vision of the Supreme Lord on Ananta
निवीतमाम्नायमधुव्रतश्रिया स्वकीर्तिमय्या वनमालया हरिम् । सूर्येन्दुवाय्वग्न्यगमं त्रिधामभि: परिक्रमत्प्राधनिकैर्दुरासदम् ॥ ३१ ॥

ब्रह्मा ने पर्वताकार उस रूप को देखकर निश्चय किया कि यही हरि, भगवान् हैं। उनके वक्षःस्थल की वनमाला मधुर गान में वेद-ज्ञान का कीर्तन करती हुई अत्यन्त शोभित थी। वे सुदर्शन-चक्र से संरक्षित थे; इसलिए सूर्य, चन्द्र, वायु, अग्नि आदि भी उनके निकट पहुँच नहीं सकते थे।
