This piece is a live 3D scene and needs WebGL and JavaScript. The story it tells is short: Brahmā and Viṣṇu each claimed to be the source of all things, a pillar of fire rose between them with no beginning and no end, and whoever found its limit would be the greater. Brahmā became a swan and flew up. Viṣṇu became a boar and dug down. Neither found an end.
