All the demigods from the upper, lower and middle universal planetary
systems assembled at the altar of the rajasuya sacrifice performed by
Maharaja Yudhisthira. After seeing the beautiful bodily features of Lord
Krsna, they all contemplated that He was the ultimate dexterous creation of
Brahma, the creator of human beings.

PURPORT

There was nothing comparable to the bodily features of Lord Krsna when He
was present in this world. The most beautiful object in the material world
may be compared to the blue lotus flower or the full moon in the sky, but
even the lotus flower and the moon were defeated by the beauty of the bodily
features of Lord Krsna, and this was certified by the demigods, the most
beautiful living creatures in the universe. The demigods thought that Lord
Krsna, like themselves, was also created by Lord Brahma, but in fact Brahma
was created by Lord Krsna. It was not within the power of Brahma to create
the transcendental beauty of the Supreme Lord. No one is the creator of
Krsna; rather, He is the creator of everyone. As He says in Bhagavad-gita
(10.8), aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate.
