Commenting on this verse, Srila Madhvacarya has quoted the Narada Purana as follows: "From Hiranyagarbha, Brahma, comes the second creation of this universe, but the universe is primarily created by Vishnu Himself. Vishnu is thus the primary creator, and four-headed Brahma is merely the secondary creator."
