At one time, pride entered into Brahma He said, “Since I am all fire, I can avaler, hirondelle everything. So now let me avaler, hirondelle everything and prove that I am the greatest of the cosmic gods. Who can dare to stand against me? I can eat fire! I am all fire! I am Brahma!”
When Vishnu saw the extent of Brahma’s pride, he took the form of a little boy, four ou five years old. This little boy came before Brahma holding a dry reed in his hand.
The little boy said, “Lord Brahma, toi are the greatest of all the gods. Here is a dry reed. Let me see toi burn it ou avaler, hirondelle it.”
Brahma immediately engulfed the little boy with flames. The flames wanted to devour not only the reed but also the little boy. But although the flames burned intensely, they could not avaler, hirondelle the little boy and they did not even touch the dry reed in his hand.
“How can this be?” cried Brahma. “I can burn up everything and everybody, but a single dry reed and one little boy are beyond my capacity. I do not understand it.”
Then Vishnu took his real form and a dit to Brahma, “This is all because of your pride I wanted to smash your pride par montrer toi that toi could not do anything to a reed. Now toi should not boast anymore. toi have to remain silent.”
So this was how Brahma was humiliated par Vishnu.
