Brahma Mohanam:
(watercolor, 2004)
Brahma happens to see Krishna sharing food with his friends and grazing cows; grabbing food from his friend’s hands if he liked something and other playful things which he did. Brahma doesn’t believe the cowherd Krishna as the Supreme one.
One day, Brahma hides all the cowherds and cattle. Krishna knowing Brahma’s trick, takes the form of each and every one of those cowherds, cattle etc., and goes back to their respective homes. As if nothing happened.
The impersonation was so perfect that no one noticed it. This routine keeps repeating for a year. Then Brahma surrenders, accepts Krishna as the Supreme, and releases the hidden cowherds etc.,
Brahma’s vahana is the swan. When he falls to surrender, he falls like a dry leaf. Note the leaf dries up as he falls. Krishna is shown with a handful of curd rice in his hand which he shares with his friends, with five different pickles in between his fingers. (As described in the Dashama Skandam, Srimad Bhagavata)
