All the demigods from the upper, lower and middle universal planetary systems assembled at the altar of the rÄjasÅ«ya sacrifice performed by MahÄrÄja Yudhiá¹£á¹hira. After seeing the beautiful bodily features of Lord Kṛṣṇa, they all contemplated that He was the ultimate dexterous creation of BrahmÄ, the creator of human beings.
There was nothing comparable to the bodily features of Lord Kṛṣṇa when He was present in this world. The most beautiful object in the material world may be compared to the blue lotus flower or the full moon in the sky, but even the lotus flower and the moon were defeated by the beauty of the bodily features of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and this was certified by the demigods, the most beautiful living creatures in the universe. The demigods thought that Lord Kṛṣṇa, like themselves, was also created by Lord BrahmÄ, but in fact BrahmÄ was created by Lord Kṛṣṇa. It was not within the power of BrahmÄ to create the transcendental beauty of the Supreme Lord. No one is the creator of Kṛṣṇa; rather, He is the creator of everyone. As He says in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (10.8), ahaá¹ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaá¹ pravartate.
