The answer depends on the specific religious or mythological tradition being referenced. However, in some Hindu traditions, Brahma is considered among the first.
According to early Hindu sources:
- Brahma is the Hindu creator god. (Reference: May 16, 2015 definition)
- He is known as the Grandfather.
- He is a later equivalent of Prajapati, the primeval first god. (Reference: May 16, 2015 definition)
- In early Hindu sources such as the Mahabharata, Brahma is supreme in the triad of great Hindu gods which includes Shiva and Vishnu. (Reference: May 16, 2015 definition)
Therefore, within the context of certain Hindu beliefs, Brahma, or his equivalent Prajapati, can be considered among the first Gods. It is important to note that other cultures and religions will have different creation stories and different figures considered as the "first" god.
