Narayaneeyam Dasakam - 9 - Creation of the Universe
Brahma who originated from the Lotus, started to wonder the source of the lotus, saw on all four sides as he got four faces and eight eyes. Even with self-introspection, he could not identify himself and source of Lotus on which he was sitting.
Brahma did meditation with focused intellect for hundred divine years when he got blessed with the beautiful vision of Lord reclining on Adhisesha. Bhattathiri worshipped the divine form of Lord, decked with crown,bracelets, necklaces and other ornaments, wearing Pitambara, with colour of blue lilly flower and wearing the Kausthubh jewel round the neck and sparkling like the Kalaya flower, as revealed to Brahma.
Brahma happy with Lord's divine form, worshipped him and did tapas under his direction for another 100 divine years, gathered strength and intelligence to start creation of three worlds and other beings. Bhattathiri requested the Lord to bestow on him, mercy, like he did for Brahma and cure his ailments. Lord acknowledged his request immediately.
