The Supreme Being,  the Creator,  the first deity of the sacred Hindu Trinity,  to whom is entrusted the work of creating the world. [The accounts of the creation of the world differ in many respects
 but,  according to Manu Smṛiti,  the universe was enveloped in darkness,  and the self-existent Lord manifested himself dispelling the gloom.  He first created the waters and deposited in them a seed. This seed became a golden egg,  in which he himself was born as Brahmā the progenitor of all the worlds. Then the Lord divided the egg into two parts,  with which he constructed heaven and earth. He then created the ten Prajāpatis or mind-born sons who completed the work of creation.  According to another account (Rāmāyaṇa) Brahmā sprang from ether
 from him was descended marīchi,  and his son was Kaśyapa.  From Kaśyapa sprang Vivasvata,  and Manu sprang from him.  Thus Manu was the procreator of all human beings. According to a third account,  the Supreme deity,  after dividing the golden egg,  separated himself into two parts,  male and female,  from which sprang Virāj and from him Manu
 cf.
   Ku.*
  2.7. and Ms.*
  1.32 et seq. Mythologically Brahman is represented as being born in a lotus which sprang from the navel of Viṣṇu,  and as creating the world by an illicit connection with his own daughter Sarasvatī. Brahman had originally five heads,  but one of them was cut down by Śiva with the ring-finger or burnt down by the fire from his third eye. His vehicle is a swan.  He has numerous epithets,  most of which have reference to his birth,  in a lotus.]

m. 1 The Supreme Being,  the Creator,  the first deity of the sacred Hindu Trinity,  to whom is entrusted the work of creating the world [The accounts of the creation of the world differ in many respects
 but,  according to Manu Smṛti,  the universe was enveloped in darkness,  and the selfexistent Lord manifested himself dispelling the gloom. He first created the waters and deposited in them a seed. This seed became a golden egg,  in which he himself was born as Brahmā
the progenitor of all the worlds. Then the Lord divided the egg into two parts,  with which he constructed heaven and earth. He then created the ten Prajāpatis or mind-born sons who completed the work of creation. According to another account (Rāmāyaṇa) Brahmā sprang from ether
 from him was descended Marīci,  and his son was Kaśyapa. From Kaśyapa sprang Vivasvat,  and Manu sprang from him. Thus Manu was the procreator of all human beings. According to a third account,  the Supreme deity,  after dividing the golden egg,  separated himself into two parts,  male and female,  from which sprang Virāj and from him Manu
 cf. Ku. 2. 7 and Ms. 1. 32 et seq.. Mythologically Brahman is represented as being born in a lotus which sprang from the navel of Viṣṇu,  and as creating the world by an illicit connection with his own daughter Sarasvatī. Brahman had originally five heads,  but one of them was cut down by Śiva with the ring-finger or burnt down by the fire from his third eye. His vehicle is a swan. He has numerous epithets,  most of which have reference to his birth in a lotus].

Vedic Reference

English

 1. Brahman (neut.) denotes the priestly class as opposed to
the warrior class and the people (Kṣatra and Viś). The term
is found in the Atharvaveda, ^1 and repeatedly later on.^2 For the
position,  etc.,  of this class,  see Brāhmaṇa.

See also Varṇa and Kṣatra.

 2. Brahman is found in many passages of the Rigveda and
later in the sense of ‘priest.’ In many passages of the Rigveda^1
he is referred to as praising the gods
 in others^2 the sense of
‘priest’ is adequate. In not a few cases^3 the priesthood as a
profession is clearly alluded to,  nor is there any reason to doubt^4
that in all cases the word has the technical sense of a member
of the priesthood. There is,  however,  considerable doubt as to
the number of cases in the Rigveda,  where it has the technical
sense of the priest who guides the sacrifice generally. It is
undoubtedly found in that sense,  both Muir^5 and Roth^6
recognizing instances of its being used thus. Geldner, ^7 how-
ever,  is anxious to find that sense in a large number of passages, 
and insists that the Purohita was normally a Brahman in the
narrower sense. Oldenberg, ^8 on the other hand,  holds with
greater probability that in most of the passages adduced
Brahman means simply ‘priest, ’ and that the Purohita,  who
was essentially not a member of the ordinary body of sacri-
ficing priests (Ṛtvij),  was,  when he officiated at the sacrifice, 
more usually the Hotṛ priest,  and only later became the
Brahman. This change he regards as having taken place when
the importance of the hymns declined,  and most weight was
laid on the functions of the priest who superintended the sacrifice
as a whole,  and by his magic repaired the flaws in the sacrifice.^9
In the later literature both senses of the word are quite
common.^10
