Text 361) The Lord Instructs Sanatana Gosvami 205
parted Vedic knowledge into the heart of Brahma. Although Brahma is the most
important and exalted personality within this universe, he could not remember
what he did in his past life. Krsna has to remind him through the heart. When Lord
Brahma was thus inspired, he was able to create the entire universe. Remembering
everything about the past and inspiring Lord Brahma to create are vivid examples
of the characteristics called svardpa-laksana and tatastha-laksana.
