Travels in the Mogul Empire (Constable) 6.6.3

- **Language:** English

### [6.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.6.6.3)

The Beihs teach that God having determined to create the world would not execute his purpose immediately, but first created three perfect beings ; one was Brahma, a name which signifies penetrating into all things ; the second, Beschen, that is, existing in all things ; and the third Mehahdeu, or the mighty lord. By means of Brahma he created the world ; by means of Beschen he upholds it ; and by means of Mehahdeu he will destroy it. It was Brahma who, by God's command, published the four Beihs, and for this reason he is represented in some temples with four heads.
