Dasakam - 7 - Birth of Hiranyagarbha-
Creation of Brahma
Lord manifested in the form of fourteen worlds(VIRAT swaroopam). Again he manifested as Brahma in Satyaloka, which is above the fourteen worlds. This Brahma, also knows as Hiranya Garbha or the Golden egg serves as the collective soul of all the living beings in the three worlds, earth, suvarga loka and paatala loka. Brahma, with increase in Rajo guna, then became desirous of creating various beings. Inspite of his best efforts, Brahma could not gain knowledge on the means to start the creations and was worried. He heard the two words "tapa" twice by Lord's will. Brahma, seated on the lotus, looked around the surrounding water in all directions and wondered who spoke those words but could not find anyone. Then he took those words as the best advice and did penance for one thousand divine years(3,60,000 years for Mankind). Pleased with his penance, Lord revealed his abode, the Vaikunta.
Vaikunta is beyond the fourteen worlds and free of Maya, sorrow, anger, delusion, fear or any mental modifications. It is completely surrounded by supreme bliss and shining with Lord's supreme light of consciousness. Lord's abode, capable of removing all sins of the beings is inhabited by divine beings having deep blue colour complexion as that of sapphire, having four arms, wearing jewelry studded with gems and pearls and were enlightening the whole place. These divine beings live in aerial cars. Only pure sattva minded sinless individuals, who do devotion without any expectations in return, can reach the Vaikunta. Bhattathiri wishesd that such abode of Lord stay with its glory, ever.
Surrounded and served by damsels, Goddess Mahalakshmi with slender and beautiful form like a lightning streak, enchants the whole world with her captivating beauty and lustre.She is always present there in vaikunta due to her deep attachment to the fragrance of Lord's lotus feet, hence the abode has become a place for astounding riches of the world. Bhattathiri prayed Lord to grant vaikunta to him as well.
Lord then revealed himself to Brahma, seated on a gem studded throne, adorned with golden crown, bracelets and other ornaments, shining like thousands of suns.Lord's chest bore the Shrivatsa mark, and the lustre of kaustubh jewel worn by the Lord, gave him a crimson hue. Bhattathiri prayed to the Lord, the source of all creation, to reveal that divine form to him.
Lord's form looked beautiful like the dark clouds, with a hue like that of delicate blue lotus flowers, and with a splendid halo, illuminated all the directions. His pleasant face sported a charming benevolent smile. His form with four arms adorned with the sacred conch, discus, mace and lotus gave immense pleasure to Brahma. Bhattathiri prayed to such Lord's form to remove all his ailments.
Brahma, wonderstruck by Lord's vision, was overwhelmed with the ecstasy of joy and with love and a sense of fulfilment. He fell at lotus feet of the Lord and humbly prostrated. He prayed to Lord, who is aware of Brahma's desire to create, to grant him the required knowledge required to start creation. He requested Lord to grant him the knowledge of the unique dual and the non-dual aspect of the Lord. Bhattathiri offered his prayers to such form of the Lord.
Lord held Brahma's hands and assured him that he would get the knowledge required for creation, however, he will not get attached to the creations. Thus motivating Brahma, Lord himself remained in his heart and prompted him in the act of creation. Bhattathiri prayed to such a compassionate Lord to bless him with good health. Lord Guruvayoorappan acknowledged his request by nodding his head immediately.
