evam sarvatma-sambandham
nabhyam padmam harer abhut
tatra brahmabhavad bhuyas
catur-vedi catur-mukhah
evam--thus; sarva-atma--with all souls; sambandham--related; nabhyam--from the navel; padmam--a lotus; hareh--of Visnu; abhut--sprung up; tatra--there; Brahma--Brahma; abhavat--was born; bhuyah--again; catuh-vedi--versed in the four Vedas; catuh-mukhah--four-faced.
The divine lotus which springs from the navel-pit of Visnu is in every way related by the spiritual tie with all souls and is the origin of four-faced Brahma versed in the four Vedas.
The same divine lotus originating from the divine person entered into the hidden recess, is the superior plane of aggregation of all individual souls. The four-faced Brahma, the image of self-enjoyment, derives his origin from the prototype Brahma or Hiranyagarbha, the mundane seminal principle, who regards the aggregate of all mundane entities as his own proper body. The delegated godship of Brahma as well as his being the dislocated portion of Krsna, are also established.
