"Your feet are the goddess Earth; the quarters of space are Your arms; heaven is Your head. I am Your form, the gods are Your body, and the moon and sun are Your eyes. Strength, austerity, truth, and dharma that grants desire belong to You, O Lord; fire is Your radiance, the wind Your breath, and the waters arose from Your sweat. The two Ashvins are Your hearing, the goddess Sarasvati Your tongue; the Vedas, established in sacred rites, and this whole world abide in You. We know neither Your number nor Your measure, neither Your radiance nor Your valor nor Your strength, O Lord of yoga, and we do not know Your origin. Immersed in devotion to You, O God, steadied by vows, we ever worship You, O Vishnu, the Supreme Lord and great sovereign. The rishis, the gods, the gandharvas, the yakshas, the rakshasas, the pannagas, the pishachas, humans, beasts, birds, and reptiles — all this and the like has been created by me on earth, yet born of Your grace, O Padmanabha, wide-eyed Krishna, destroyer of evil dreams. You are the refuge of all beings, You are the leader, You are the face of the world; by Your grace, O Lord of the gods, the celestials are ever happy. By Your grace, O God, the earth ever remains free of fear. Therefore, O wide-eyed one, become the increaser of the Yadu lineage; for the establishment of dharma, the destruction of the daityas, and the sustaining of the world, grant my petition, O Lord. O Sovereign, this is the highest mystery, filled with Your grace, which I have sung to You, Vasudeva, exactly as it is."

Brahma acknowledges himself a creator only in a dependent sense: beings are fashioned by him, but their very existence is born of Vasudeva's grace. Hence the plea for descent into the Yadu lineage: the avatara comes not as mythological ornament but as the answer to the world's need for the restoration of dharma.
