O Vidura! Viṣṇu entered that lotus of all the planets, which reveals all the enjoyable objects for the jīvas. Brahmā, known as self-born, composer of the Vedas, appeared within that lotus. The particle u is used to address Vidura. That lotus made of all the planets, called the Vairāja, which, at the time of devastation, had entered a subtle state, now appeared, at the end of devastation, in the form of a lotus. Viṣṇu as antaryāmī entered that lotus. Prāvīviśat has the same meaning as prāviviśat. That lotus held within itself the manifestation of the effects of all the guṇas, Svarga and Nāraka, to be enjoyed by the jīvas. Brahmā appeared within that lotus. He is called self-born because he has no visible parentage. He was previously merged with Nārāyaṇa in sleep. When the Lord awoke, he appeared by means of the lotus. There is the gross form of Brahmā, called Vairāja (the lotus of the planets). There is the subtle form is called Hiraṇyagarbha. There is also four-headed Brahmā, the creator (who appeared from the lotus at this time). Thus there are three forms of Brahmā. [Note: Rūpa Gosvāmī in Laghu-bhāgavatāmṛta gives only two forms of Brahmā. Hiraṇyagarbha is the subtle form made of mahat-tattva, is aggregate of the jīvas and Vairāja is the gross form made of the aggregate of elements, with four heads, who creates. According to Vśvanātha, the Vairāja is the aggregate of the elements and planets, and the four headed Brahmā creates.]
