| Before the latest
creation of the present universe, the four Vedas (the holy books delivered
from the mouth
of the Supreme-God) remained drowned in the waters. It was necessary to get hold of them
to instruct Brahma about the work of creation. Vishnu was therefore appointed to bring up
the Vedas from the deep. He took the form of a fish (matsya), descended into the waters
and brought up these sacred books. |
