ਅਥ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੀ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਪਹਿ ਪੁਕਾਰਤ ਭਈ ॥

Earth’s prayer to Brahma:

SWAYYA

When the earth was overburdened by the weight and fear of the demons, she assumed the form of a cow and went to the sage Brahma

Brahma said, “We two will go to the supreme Vishnu in order to request him to listen to our supplication.”9.

All the powerful people went there under the leadership of Brahma

The sages and others began to weep before the supreme Vishnu as if someone had beaten them

The poet mentioning the beauty of that spectacle says that those people appeared

Like a trader crying before a police officer having been plundered at the instance of the headman.10.

Brahma reached the milk-ocean alongwith the gods and the forces and washed the feet of the supreme Vishnu with water

Seeing that supreme Immanent Lord, the four-headed Brahma fell at his feet whereupon the Lord said, “You may leave, I shall incarnate and destroy the demons.”11.

Listening to the words of the Lord, all the gods were pleased and went back to their places after paying their obeisance to him

Visualising that spectacle the poet said that they were going back like a herd of cows.12.
