Eventually, Prajapati came to refer to any one of a collectivity of creation deities. This group of seven to ten gods were known as the Prajpatis, and were thought of as Brahma's sons who assisted him in fashioning the universe.The story in the Vedas states that Prajapati was created in the form of a golden egg and, once hatched, he used his first three breaths to create the god of fire (Agni), the god of lightning (Indra) and the sacred plant, soma. He created planets, seasons, air, earth and sky.
