After being bewildered by Lord Kṛṣṇa's unlimited potencies and practically rendered dumb and blind, Lord Brahmā 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 Brahmā immediately saw Vṛndāvana before him, filled with trees, which were the means of livelihood for the inhabitants and which were equally pleasing in all seasons. Next Lord Brahmā 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.
Brahmā hastily got down from his swan carrier, fell down like a golden rod, and touched the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa with the tips of the four crowns on his heads. Offering his obeisances, he bathed Kṛṣṇa's feet with tears of joy.
Rising and falling again and again at Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet for a long time, Brahmā repeatedly remembered the Lord's greatness he had just seen. Then Brahmā rose very gradually, wiped his eyes, and looked up at Kṛṣṇa. With his head bent low, his mind concentrated, and his body trembling, Brahmā very humbly and falteringly began to offer praises to the Lord.
