Calling all the demigods and demigoddesses
to accompany him, Brahma went to the ocean of milk to pray to the Supreme
Lord. In the highest part of the universe there is an ocean of milk,
not like our milk that would spoil but milk of a finer, more subtle
quality that is almost spiritual. On this ocean of milk the Supreme
Lord Kshirodakashayi Vishnu rests upon His serpent bed formed by Ananta
Shesha.
The demigods all chanted prayers glorifying Lord Vishnu, and then Brahma
sat and silently meditated upon Him.
Then the Lord spoke to Brahma in his heart, telling him that He would
come in His original form of Krishna and help planet earth. He also
said that the demigods should all take birth in the Yadu dynasty on
earth in order to participate in His pastime. Brahma relayed this message
to the demigods.
