of Hindu gods. The triad consists of Brahma, the Creator,
Vishnu, the Preserver, and Siva, the Destroyer.
[1913 Webster]

the final a short), or Brahm, is the Divine Essence,
the One First Cause, the All in All, while the personal
gods, Brahm['a] (with the final a long), Vishnu, and
Siva, are emanations or manifestations of Brahma the
Divine Essence.

brahma
(devil) | BRAHMA, n. He who created the Hindoos, who are preserved by Vishnu
and destroyed by Siva -- a rather neater division of labor than is
found among the deities of some other nations. The Abracadabranese,

Folly. The priests of Brahma, like those of Abracadabranese, are holy
and learned men who are never naughty.
O Brahma, thou rare old Divinity,
First Person of the Hindoo Trinity,
You sit there so calm and securely,
With feet folded up so demurely --
You're the First Person Singular, surely.
Polydore Smith
