I wanted to bring this context into picture after a long time because I felt there was a need to tell the audience reading the spiritual texts, not just the Mahabharath but infact all the books of the Hindu philosophy- The 4 vedas, Ramayan, Mahabharath, and the 18 Puranas. I am putting this part of my ideology into the Mahabharath because as far as my understanding is based on my readings of my books, Sri Madhwacharya wrote the Mahabharatha Tatparya Nirnaya on request of his Guru Sri Bhadharayana. Many people argued Bhadharayana was none other than Veda vyasa but I dont want to get into this debate, because my focus on this part is not relevant to that. The reason why the Guru told Madhwa into writing a treatise on Mahabharath like this one was very well understood by Madhwa and he as inquired by a disciple about the same reason. Madhwa told that the whole of the Vedas, the Ramayan and the Mahabharath completes a total picture of the Mahabharatha. So to say, Mahabharath includes a major part of instances and relevance of its past and gravitates itself into a supirior text per se.
Brahma, the creator, of all creations on earth is not a mortal even though he took birth from the a seed of a tree in Brahma lok created by Vishnu. In Brahma lok, the time is not 24 hours, it goes to some 5 million years for just one minute on earth. The entire Earth is held on the hood of the snake on which Vishnu sleeps, called Shesha. Brahma lok is the another world that arose due to Cosmic interference inside Vishnu and from his Umbilical cord the lotus springs into the world of the Vedas where the Tree of knowledge gives life to all creatures in the universe. This form from the seed of the tree became into a sage in absolute meditation. In the story of Shankaracharya, there was an outcast man from the Chandala community, he did enormous penance standing on one feet and by years liberated his senses and began to fly. It is thus clear that using penance one can achieve enormous power and so did the person born of the seed from the tree in the Brahma lok.
Gods wanted some tasks to be done on earth and so created man and other 16000 life forms which evolved into many millions later on. Gods knew that their work needed initiation though action and created needs in the thoughts of man and thus Woman was born. Using Woman and creatures and trees on Earth man went on the task of doing his purpose of what Gods kept asking. Thus the inverse had no room in stagnation. Thus Brahma was given to task of creating whatever life forms with their destiny. Brahma took clay and made all sorts of forms and put them hanging. They were seen by Vishnu from his world below and Vishnu destined everything to manifest itself into Huge sizes via Maya, the power of his Yoga. But in order to sustain the Universe, Brahma took birth every 450 trillion years and died every 450 Trillion years.This goes on and on.
So Where did Brahma learn to live and die? What is the way to do the clays that Brahma followed? How did he gain knowledge of engineering purpose of life? The answer is the Vedas. It is the tree on the Brahma lok next to a small pond depicted in the Vedas themselves. To put some analogy with other mythology, the Aztec and Mayans believe in the tree of life. They believe the tree holds all knowledge to empower the soul. In fact, the tree doesnt impart knowledge. It simply empowers the soul to fulfill the desire of the souls that seek the tree for their destiny. The humans of ancient times must have seen the tree. The vedas must have undoubtedly arisen from this belief. Brahma himself is referred to by this name because is not the absolute and ultimate authority on his part. Rather their is another reason beyond his capabilities-Parabrahma. I say this because there is poem taken from the Vedas "Om...Guru devo Maheshvarah, Guru saakshaat ParaBrahma..".. there literally telling the rising of the soul from the Spirit to the Heart and then pass into the Kundalini (bottom of spinal Cord) and here the knowledge takes its course into the brain via the Spinal Cord, ultimately signalling the Brain. The Brain merely obeys its orders.
Let me bring some instances now to justify what I mean to say. The story of Nachiketa is very interesting in the Vedanta and Upanishat. Nachiketa talks to God Yama, the son of the Sun, as what happens after the animal is dead among other questions. In one reply of Yama to Nachiketa, " The man in no more than the Customer inside a Chariot, the driver is the brain and will of the man, the body of man is just a wagon body of the Chariot and the horses are the five sense organs. Thus I came to say that the action of Brahma is driven by his will only while the purpose is that of the Tree in Brahma lok.
Again , another example, In the end of the Mahabharath, the 17th chapter of Shanthi Parva, is the instance when the God Krishna offers divine powers to Bheeshma to live without food and water. At the end, Bheesma dies by asking for death. The body of Bheeshma illuminated from toe to his head and the soul came out of his head and went into the sky above. Thus it is the head that controls the soul. Bheeshma had a very powerful soul. Hence it was illuminated very brightly and the soul was very strong. That is why everyone in the battlefield saw the soul leave his head and as a light radiating like a small sun went into the sky. Thus I did mention why the knowledge arises desire and where it leaves.
Now, the reason I tell the Vedas is the reason for all this is because that the Lord Vishnu saw secrelty , the demon Hayagreeva spying on Brahma just before he was about to stop the life in one of the trillionth year period and take rest for 450 trillion period. Thus the Vedas came out of Brahma's mouth and tried to go back to the tree. Hayagreeva took the Vedas intervened and let open his mouth and into came the Vedas. He was escaping and hid on an island on Earth. Thus the Matsya Avatar of Vishnu came and the rest was part of the Matsya Purana. What point I wanted to make here is that, the vedas are the cause of all creations living and nonliving in the Universe. Remember, the great scientists like Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla and others reading Vedas and creating many new inventions. Thus I attribute the cause of all creatures and creations to the force hidden in the words of the Vedas. Now, as per the Creator, why he is holding the counting beads in one hand and the Book of Vedas in the other hand is interesting. Brahma, became used to creating, Destroying, living and dying and living. Thus his art of creating shows how proficient he is in the Vedas. He simply recalls the entire Vedas with just a turn of one bead. Humanly, it would take an year or so!! Brahma is always turning the beads. Remember in Yaksha Prashna, Yudhistira was asked what is that which is faster than the blink of an eye. Yudhistira replies the mind. Hence, what ever other activity Brahma is doing, his third hand is spinning the chain of beads, recollecting multiple times in the Earthly time of a minute, while awaiting any call from humans to gain his presence doing meditation and Prayers. Brahma, is sure that most of creatures doing meditation want a copy of the Vedas, thus as a ready reckoner, he holds a copy of the Vedas for his followers to give away. After all Hinduism is all about sampradhana-Giving away whatever one has.
