The Advent of Lord Krishna
Mother
earth was overburdened by hundreds of thousands of military phalanxes
of various conceited demons dressed like kings. She approached Lord
Brahma for relief. Mother earth assumed the form of a cow. Very much
distressed, with tears in her eyes, she appeared before Lord Brahma
and told him about her misfortune. Thereafter Lord Brahma went with
mother earth, Lord Shiva, and all the other demigods to the shore of
the ocean of milk. There the demigods worshiped Lord Vishnu, the master
of the universe, the supreme God of all gods, who provides for everyone
and diminishes everyone's suffering. With great attention they worshiped
Him by reciting the Vedic mantras known as the Purusa sukta. All asked
for protection and prosperity from Lord Vishnu . Yet the same Mother
that sustained all was overburdened with the wars, greed and lust.
