When
the three worlds were submerged in water,

In His internal potency, The Lord lay for four thousand yuga cycles. Within Him was the unmanifest. Worlds within worlds, cycles within cycles. All the living entities were merged within the body of the Universal Vishnu. When all was ready to manifest the Lord opened His eyes, he saw His transcendental body as bluish. Devi Laksmi, the feminine energy, consort of the Lord, sat at His feet. She too, had to be manifested into Divine feminine energies His purpose was of creation and manifestation. He fixed His gaze upon the subtle material nature of all that had to come, all that had to be manifested. All the cycles of space and time. All the activities that would ensue thereafter. His Vision pierced through His wondrousCore Star in his abdomen. The Lord manifested the shape as in the shape of a lotus bud. Into this universal lotus bud, Lord Vishnu himself entered as the Supersoul. The manifested personality of His wisdom, Lord Brahma, was born. Brahma was disoriented. He could not understand his identity, purpose, or origin. Eventually, everything was revealed to him, only after proper austerities and meditation executed over many yugas. Realizing himself to be the Lord's Mirror Image and eternal servant by following the Lord Vishnu's Divine Will did Brahma engage himself in the matter of secondary creation. This was in fulfillment of the Lord's plan.
