Bhagavān is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, but if a devotee serves Him with full faith, the meaning of the Vedic literature is revealed to him. Therefore Brahmā is called  brahma-liṅga , which indicates that his entire form consists of Vedic knowledge.

tataḥ parastāl lokāloka-nāmācalo lokālokayor antarāle parita upakṣiptaḥ.
tataḥ —from that ocean of sweet drinking water;  parastāt —beyond;  lokāloka-nāma —named Lokāloka;  acalaḥ —a mountain;  loka-alokayoḥ antarāle —between the countries full of sunlight and those without sunlight;  paritaḥ —all around;  upakṣiptaḥ —exists.
TRANSLATION
