SVS 49

43. OM DHATRE NAMA: धातरे नम:
Possessing four faced Brahma as His body.

Dhatha means creator of the Universe. During Mahapralayam, there was nothing except Him. Here we should note that Sri Vaikuntam and all Nithyas and Mukthas are there even during Mahapralayam. But this Leela vibhoothi consisting of perishable Universe, etc., are not there and Lord enjoys only when Leela vibhoothi also exists. At that time He decides to create the Prakruthi. He creates Brahma also known as Dhatha. Brahma is empowered by the Lord to do creations.
Dhatha also means He induces creation in Prakruthi. Also, Dhatha means to support and sustain by taking various forms such as Adisesha, Koorma or Varaha. It is believed that Adisesha supports the Universe. But the power to support is derived from the Lord. Adisesha means he was the first jeevatma to attain Moksham and preform services to the Lord.
