BRAHMA OFFERS OBEISANCES TO LORD KRSNA<\/p>\n

After being bewildered by Lord Krsna\u2019s unlimited potencies and practically rendered dumb and blind, Lord Brahma slowly regained his external consciousness and stood up, just like a dead man coming back to life. Opening his eyes with great difficulty he saw the universe, along with himself. Then, looking in all directions, Lord Brahma immediately saw Vrndavana before him, filled with trees, which were the means of livelihood for the inhabitants and which were equally pleasing in all seasons. Next Lord Brahma saw the Absolute Truth-who is one without a second, who possesses full knowledge, and who is unlimited-assuming the role of a child in a family of cowherd men and standing all alone with a morsel of food in His hand, searching everywhere for the calves and His cowherd friends.
\nBrahma hastily got down from his swan carrier, fell down like a golden rod, and touched the lotus feet of Lord Krsna with the tips of the four crowns on his heads. Offering his obeisances, he bathed Krsna\u2019s feet with tears of joy.
\nRising and falling again and again at Krsna\u2019s lotus feet for a long time, Brahma repeatedly remembered the Lord\u2019s greatness he had just seen. Then Brahma rose very gradually, wiped his eyes, and looked up at Java. With his head bent low, his mind concentrated, and his body trembling, Brahma very humbly and falteringly began to offer praises to the Lord.<\/p>\n
