TRANSLATION

After seeing that all the trees on the surface of the earth were being
turned to ashes, Lord Brahma immediately came to the sons of King
Barhisman and pacified them with words and logic.

PURPORT

Whenever there is some uncommon occurrence on any planet, Lord
Brahma, being in charge of the whole universe, immediately comes to con-
trol the situation. Lord Brahma also came when Hiranyakagipu underwent
severe penances and austerities and made the whole universe tremble. A
responsible man in any establishment is always alert to keep peace and
harmony within the establishment. Similarly, Lord Brahma is also al-
lowed to keep peace and harmony within this universe. He consequently
pacified the sons of King Barhisman with good logic.
