Brahma is a creator god and purveyor of boons and is associated with religious texts. He grants boons to demons (asuras and rakshasas) and is credited with revealing the Vedas and compelling the narration of the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Various mythological accounts detail his interactions with the other gods, especially Vishnu and Shiva. He is also responsible for creating the Brahmastra (“Brahma’s Weapon”) by which Rama slays the demon Ravana in the Ramayana.
