The Kimpurusas and Kinnaras took possession of that shadowy form
which was left by Brahma. That is why they and their spouses sing his
praises by recounting his exploits at every daybreak.
PURPORT
The time early in the morning, one and a half hours before sunrise, is
called brahma-muhdrta. During this brahma-muhirta, spiritual activities
are recommended. Spiritual activities performed early in the morning
have a greater effect than in any other part of the day.
