Oh Lord of Vaikunta ! Equipped with more power due to Thy blessing, God Brahma created living creatures, like the stationary trees, plants, and creepers and the movable ones like the animals and birds as well as hosts of human beings and the various gods.

God Brahma then created the five different types of emotions generated by ignorance viz. pride, egoism, attachment, anger and fear. Saddened at having to create these objects of a Tamasic nature, he meditated on Thy lotus feet, for purifying himself and as atonement for his action.

taavat sasarja manasaa sanakaM sanandaMbhuuyaH sanaatana muniM cha sanatkumaaram |te sR^iShTi karmaNi tu tena niyujyamaanaa- Stvatpaada bhakti rasikaa jagR^ihurna vaaNiim ||

Then Brahma created out of his mind, the four sages, Sanaka, Sananda, Sanatana and Sanatkumara. Although he asked them to carry on the work of creation, they would not do so as they were fully absorbed in devotion to Thy lotus feet.

Brahma who was enraged by the refusal of the sages to obey him, tried to control his anger. Then there sprang up between Brahma's eyebrows, Mrida, who was a part of Thine ownself. Mrida cried out to Brahma to give him a name and allot him a place. So he was called Rudra or one who cries.

ekaadashaahvayatayaa cha vibhinnaruupaMrudraM vidhaaya dayitaa vanitaashcha datvaa |taavantyadatta cha padaani bhavatpraNunnaHpraaha prajaavirachanaaya cha saadaraM tam ||

Inspired by Thee, Brahma gave Rudra eleven different forms with eleven names and gave as many wives and an equal number of places. Then he kindly requested him to indulge in procreation.

Rudra created multitudes of Rudraganas of terrifying appearance and when they began to spread all over the three worlds Brahma became thoroughly scared. Urged by Thee, Brahma directed Rudra to stop creation and do penance instead for the welfare of the world.

After Rudra went away to do penance, Brahma again started the work of creation and from various parts of his body he created the ten great sages, viz. Mareechi, Atri, Angiras, Krathu, Pulaha, Pulastya, Bhrigu, Vasishta, Daksha and Narada. Among them Narada was an ardent devotee of Thy lotus feet.

Then Brahma created Dharma Deva and Kardama followed by Vani. Brahma was smitten by love at the sight of Saraswathi (Vani), but his sons, Sanaka and Daksha, urged by Thee, persuaded him to give up this lowly desire born of ignorance.

From his four faces Brahma produced the Vedas, the Puranas and all other sciences, and gave them to his sons. Unable to make any further progress in the work of creation he took refuge at Thy lotus feet.

By contemplating on Thy lotus feet Brahma discovered the strategy for multiplying creation. He split his body into two and adopted the male and female forms of Manu and his wife, thus evolving the means of multiplying the human race. Oh Govinda ! Oh Guruvayurappa ! Oh Thou who multiplies the human race ! Thus, please save me fromall my afflictions.
