SRIRANGAM

Vishnu took the form of a horse(Hayagriva) and annihilated the ace of Madhu Kaitabha and recovered the Vedas and taught
the same to Brahma.  After the initiation by Lord Vishnu himself, Brahma started creating the Universe, which is made of
the five elements, Prithvi, A.P. Marut, Tejas, Vyoma, and sixteen spheres of the Universe and gave a start to the natural law of the Universe. 

Creation only being his main port folio, when he set the natural law in motion, his work was completed and the Universe
would go on in the cycle of Karma, i.e., and action done by the created beings. As one's karma becomes the decisive
factor for the continuance of the universe under the influence of natural law, Brahma realised in his observation that a time might come when his own action will be
put to judgement.

He felt the necessity of getting advice from Narayana. To invoke him, he started penance in the Milky Ocean. After long years of penance, Narayana appeared before him on Garuda and asked him what he wanted. Brahma requested Narayana to show him his real form.
