A lotus flower grew up from the navel of Mahāviṣṇu and Brahmā was born in the flower. In the flower there were two drops of water created by Mahāviṣṇu. One drop was as sweet as honey and from that drop was born the Asura Madhu with the attributes of tamas (darkness). The other drop was hard and from it Kaiṭabha was born with the attribute of Rajas (activity).
