In the beginning there was no earth or any other planet. There was only water. Mahāviṣṇu slept on the surface of the water. From the navel of Mahāviṣṇu the stalk of a lotus grew up and there was a lotus flower at the end of the stalk. Brahmā was born in the lotus flower. Brahmā stayed in the flower in deep meditation reciting the Vedas. Ear-wax flowed out from both the ears of Mahāviṣṇu. From the ear-wax two Asuras Madhu and Kaiṭabha were born.
