In the sacred Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, the hymn to Śrī Kṛṣṇa composed by Śambhu was revealed. Following this divine praise, a wondrous event unfolded: from the lotus blooming at Kṛṣṇa’s navel emerged a radiant figure. Clad entirely in white, with gleaming white teeth and hair, the four-faced Brahmā appeared, resplendent and serene. Brahmā, the bestower of the fruits of austerities and the giver of all wealth, stood before Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He is the creator and knower of the four Vedas, the lord of their origin. With joined palms, he offered heartfelt praises to Kṛṣṇa, recognizing him as both unmanifest and imperishable, yet also manifest—assuming the enchanting form of a youthful cowherd. Serene and beloved by the cowherd maidens, Kṛṣṇa captivated all, especially as he danced in the circle of the rāsa near the forest of Vṛndāvana. After offering his reverent words and bowing, Brahmā bestowed a boon upon Kṛṣṇa, who was seated upon a jeweled throne. It was declared that whoever recites Brahmā’s hymn upon rising in the morning will awaken devotion to Govinda, increasing the prosperity of sons and grandsons. Thus, in the Brahmavaivarta, Brahmā’s hymn to Śrī Kṛṣṇa appeared, emanating from the chest of the Supreme Soul. Next, the embodiment of Dharma appeared. He is the witness of all, the knower of every being and action, endowed with knowledge of dharma, established in righteousness, and bestower of dharma itself. Standing before Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Dharma bowed down fully to the ground and addressed him: “Kṛṣṇa, Viṣṇu, Vāsudeva, Supreme Soul, Lord; Lord of the cowherds, Lord of the gopīs, protector of cows, the mighty one; situated among cows, cowherds, and gopīs, the foremost, the Supreme Person.” Having spoken thus, Dharma rose from the excellent jeweled throne and uttered twenty-four sacred names from his mouth. It was proclaimed that, at the time of death, the name of Hari surely grants the desired goal. Dharma always adheres to Kṛṣṇa, and unrighteousness finds no place near him. Upon seeing Kṛṣṇa, all sins flee away in fear. After Dharma’s hymn to Śrī Kṛṣṇa, a maiden appeared at Dharma’s left side, and then from the front of the Supreme Soul. Her radiance was equal to ten million full moons, her eyes like lotuses blossoming in autumn. She smiled sweetly, had beautiful teeth, a dark complexion, and was the most beautiful among all beauties. This maiden was Sarasvati, the goddess presiding over speech, cherished by poets. Standing before Govinda, Sarasvati sang joyfully, extolling the deeds performed in every kalpa and every age. She addressed Kṛṣṇa, seated upon a jeweled throne and adorned with jeweled ornaments, as the Lord of the Rasa dance, the performer of the Rasa, and the supreme Lord of the Queen of the Rasa. Even as he delighted in the pleasures of the Rasa, exhausted from the dance, Sarasvati bowed and, with a delighted face, remained before him. It was declared that whoever recites Sarasvati’s hymn upon rising in the morning receives her blessings. Thus, in the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, Sarasvati’s hymn to Śrī Kṛṣṇa appeared, emanating from the mind of Krishna, the Supreme Soul. Then Mahalakshmi, ever youthful and smiling, clad in yellow garments, appeared. She is the fortune of heaven among the gods and the royal fortune among kings. Standing before Hari, the Supreme Soul, she spoke: “I bow to the one who is the foundation of truth, the knower of truth, and whose root is truth.” Having spoken and bowed to Śrī Hari, she seated herself comfortably. Afterward, she too appeared from the mind of the Supreme Soul. Thus, the hymns and praises of Brahmā, Dharma, Sarasvati, and Mahalakshmi arose, each revealing the glory and divinity of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Soul, in the sacred Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa.
