With the Vedas in his possession Hayagriva wanted to hide himself in some deepest abyss appear as before and not finding the Vedas, the Devas, and the Sages would be utterly powerless. (The four Vedas were given to us by Brahma - the Creator). So he decided to carry away the Vedas without anyone's knowledge as soon as Brahma began to sleep. The Vedas were the breath of the Devas, Sages and all virtuous people and because of the Vedas they were able to reset the Asuras and were always having an upper hand. He knew that the Pralaya or the deluge was to come and all living beings including plant life would be exterminated. It is at this time the horse-headed demon Hayagriva conspired with his evil friends and decided to take away the Vedas. After many many thousands of years of darkness and deluge the earth slowly comes out of the water as the water too begins to recede slowly. This continues throughout Brahma's night and again it is a very long period of time. When he goes to sleep utter darkness prevails and the earth will be submerged in water. This is said to be the the end of a very long period of time. When Brahma's day is over he goes to sleep having been busy all through with continuous work. Brahma's (the creator's) day and night - each comprises several million years unlike our day and night. Hayagriva was a very powerful demon and was causing a lot of trouble to the Devas and others as was wont with the Asuras.
