Bhakti surpasses all Vedic knowledge; love for Krishna transcends demigod status.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Brahmā... [break] Prabhupāda: They bow down like stick. This is called daṇḍavat. Daṇḍa means "stick"; vat means "like." When you fall down, just like a stick falls, before superior, that is called daṇḍavat.
Not by simply saying daṇḍavat... Eh, one must fall down. So Brahmā fell down, and his four heads touched the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, and with ecstasy, and he was crying. It is to be taken as of his head..., of Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet.
Hmm. [break] ...like a human child, Parabrahma: brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti... [SB 1.2.11]. The Supreme Lord is narākṛti: like human being. Not catur-bāhu.
Nārāyaṇa is catur-bāhu, but the Supreme Person is like human being. [coughs heavily] And why all the authorities said, “Made after God”? Pradyumna: No, "Man is made in the image of God." Prabhupāda: Hmm. Pradyumna: Then it says that Lord Brahmā very hastily got down from his vāhana, tvareṇa, tvareyā, nija-dho... [break] ...and fell down with his body on the earth. So his iti...
And he, he was crying, and so his tears were washing the feet of Kṛṣṇa. Prabhupāda: Abhiṣeka. Pradyumna: Abhiṣeka. So we just wanted... Two things that were mentioned in purport... [break] It says in the verse dṛṣṭvā, so he says iḍām evam...
Just like stick falls; similarly. Pradyumna: You commented that there is a rule that the demigods never touch the ground. Prabhupāda: Yes. Pradyumna: So it said Brahmā’s devatva abhimāna[?] was upaguma[?]. It was gone away, removed, disappeared. Prabhupāda: Yes. [break] Pradyumna: ...of being a demigod, or it was disappeared?
Prabhupāda: Yes. [break] ...disappeared. He gave up voluntarily. They have no question.
