Brahmā could see that on the water there was a gigantic lotuslike white bedstead, the body of Śeṣa-nāga, on which the Personality of Godhead was lying alone. The whole atmosphere was illuminated by the rays of the jewels bedecking the hood of Śeṣa-nāga, and that illumination dissipated all the darkness of those regions.

Translation
He saw the one lord sleeping on the broad bed of Śeṣa, white like a water lily, floating upon the waters of devastation, whose darkness was dissipated by the light from the jewels on top of the thousands of umbrella-like hoods of Śeṣa. Nine verses describe the Lord. The jewels on top of the millions of hoods acting as umbrellas over the Lord destroyed the darkness of the waters of devastation.
