a divinity of Indian mythology. Brahma created nine Brahmins from different parts of his body. At the same time Sunyambhu. Brahma's son, created the ten celebrated rishis, or forefathers, of all existing beings. These are identical with the nine Brahmins mentioned, and one of them is Pulaha. He was so pious that he could, by his prayers, create men, animals, and gods.
