sisrksayam tato nabhes
tasya padmam viniryayau
tan-nalam hema-nalinam
brahmano lokam adbhutam
sisrksayam--when there was the will to create; tatah--then; nabheh--from the navel; tasya--of Him; padmam--a lotus; viniryayau--came out; tat-nalam--its stem; hema-nalinam--like a golden lotus; brahmanah--of Brahma; lokam--the abode; adbhutam--wonderful.
When Visnu lying in the ocean of milk wills to create this universe, a golden lotus springs from His navel-pit. The golden lotus with its stem is the abode of Brahma representing Brahmaloka or Satyaloka.
"Gold" here means the dim reflection of pure cognition.
