In Hindu traditions, Brahma is said to have created many beings, so the number of his “children” varies across scriptures and traditions.
In Hindu traditions, Brahma is said to have created many beings, so the number of his “children” varies across scriptures and traditions.
The most commonly mentioned children are the Manasaputras (“mind-born sons”), created from Brahma’s mind. Different texts list different numbers, but a common list includes:
Marichi
Atri
Angiras
Pulastya
Pulaha
Kratu
Vashistha
Bhrigu
Narada
Daksha
Some scriptures mention 7, others 9, 10, or more sons.
Brahma is also associated with daughters such as:
Saraswati (in some traditions)
Shatarupa
Because Hindu mythology has many versions across Puranas and traditions, there isn’t one single universally accepted number.
