THE BUDDHA EXPOUNDING A DOCTRINE TO BAKA BRAHMA IN THE HIGHER HEAVEN , TO GIVE HIM AND HIS FRIENDS , THE LIGHT OF WISDOM.

Baka Brahma, who was bitten by the snake of tenacious heresay (in believing that the Brahma Loka is the best and everlasting world in existence), was duly defeated by the Buddha in a mutual contest to show power. On hearing the Buddha's profound expounding of the Dhamma (Buddhist Doctrine), he became enlightened along with many other Brahmas (higher celestial beings).
