Text 36] Prahlada Pacifies the Lord with Prayers 243

cayantara-stham: the Lord is within the universe and within the atom by
His different energies. This is the real vision of the Supreme Lord for the
intelligent man. Brahma, the first created being, became the most intelli-
gent person by his tapasya, austerity, and thus he came to this realiza-
tion. We must therefore take all knowledge from Brahma, who became
perfect by his tapasya.

TRANSLATION

Lord Brahma could then see You possessing thousands and
thousands of faces, feet, heads, hands, thighs, noses, ears and eyes.
You were very nicely dressed, being decorated and bedecked with
varieties of ornaments and weapons. Seeing You in the form of
Lord Visnu, Your symptoms and form being transcendental, Your
legs extending from the lower planets, Lord Brahma achieved
transcendental bliss.
