Once again, Lord Sriman Narayana appeared in front of him in the form a swan and preached the Vedas. In Srimad Bhagavata, it is mentioned that Sri Bhagawan (Lord Narayana) said, "Brahma desired to attain the answer to the question that was puzzling him, and thus he fixed his mind on Me. At that time, in my form of Hamsa, I became visible to Brahma". Hamsa means "swan", and the specific ability of the swan is to seperate a mixture of milk and water, extracting the rich, milky portion. Similarly, the Lord appeared as Hamsa, or the swan, in order to separate the pure consciousness of Brahma from the confused modes of material nature.
The four Vedas that the Supreme Lord gave to Brahma were later stolen by two asuras. Brahma hadn't at that time created any asuras. So, Brahma wondered how these asuras came into existence. Brahma had to again seek Lord Narayana's help to protect him and rescue the stolen Vedas. This time, Lord Sriman Narayana appeared in front of Brahma in the form of Matsya (Fish), promised Brahma that he will manifest Himself again, come back to rescue the Vedas. So, Brahma thought that this is his Lord's real form.
Later the same Lord Narayana manifested himself as Lord Hayagreeva (The Horse God) to rescue the Vedas from the asuras. Now, Brahma initially thought that the swan is his dear Lord who created him. Then, he realized that his Lord looks like a fish. Now, he was surprised to see his Lord manifest himself with a horse face.
Read about who these asuras are, how they got created, how they stole the Vedas and how did Lord Narayana manifested Himself in a Hayagriva Avatara, here.
Brahma's task of creating the Universe was in the beginning stage. He was so displeased since everything was transient and disappeared in course of time. It is mentioned in SriRanga Mahatamya (Puranic Legend), Brahma went to Ksheera Sagara (Milky Ocean) to meet the only savior Lord Vishnu seeking help. And lo, this time Lord Vishnu appeared like a kurma (tortoise) and it indeed puzzled Brahma. Brahma could not believe that his Supreme Lord again appeared in a different form and this time He looked like a turtle.
स मम अचिन्तयद् देवः
प्रश्न पर तितिर्षया
तस्याहं हंस रूपेण
सकसं आगमं तदा (SB 11.13.19)
