Brahma or the first living being born just after the creation is the son of Narayana directly. Narayana as Garbhodaksaye Vishnu first of all entered the material universe. Without spiritual contact matter cannot create and this principle was followed from the very beginning of the creation. The Supreme Spirit entered the universe and the First living being Brahma was born on a lotus flower grown out of the transcendental abdomen of Vishnu. Vishnu is therefore known as Padmanava. Brahma is known as Atmabhu because he was begotten directly from the Father without any contact of Mother Laksmiji. Laksmiji, was present just before Narayana, engaged in the service of the Lord and still without any contact of Lakshmi, Narayana begot Brahma. That is the omnipotency of the Lord. One who foolishly considers Narayana as good as other living beings may take lesson from this that Narayana is not an ordinary living being. He is the Personality of Godhead Himself and He has all the potencies of all the senses in all parts of His transcendental body. An ordinary living being begets a child by the intercourse of sex and he has no other means to beget child than the one designed for him. But Narayana being omnipotent He does not require to be bound up by any condition of any energy. He is complete and independant to do anything and everything by His various potencies very easily and perfectly. Brahma is therefore directly the son of the Father without being put into the womb of the mother and therefore he is known as atmabhu. This Brahma is in charge of further creation in the universe secondarily reflected by the Potency of the omnipotent. Within the halo of the Universe there is a transcendental planet known as Sweta Dwipa which is resided by the Kshirodaksayee Vishnu, the Paramatma feature of the Supreme Lord. Whenever there is any trouble in the universe impossible to be solved by the administrative demigods, they approach Brahmaji for solution and if it is not to be solved even by Brahmaji then the latter also consults and Prays the Khirodaksayee Vishnu for incarnation and solution of the problems. Such problem arose when Kansa and others were ruling over the earth and she became too much overburdened by the misdeeds of the Asuras. Brahmaji along with other demigods prayed at the shore of the Khirodak ocean and they were intimated of the descent of Krishna as the son of Vasudeva and Devaki. So some people say that the Lord appeared on account of prayers of Brahmaji.

Teachings of Queen Kuntī, 17 Lightening the Burden of the World
#$p#Brahmā, or the first living being born just after the creation, is the direct son of Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa, as Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, first of all entered the material universe. Without spiritual contact, matter cannot create. This principle was followed from the very beginning of the creation. The Supreme Spirit entered the universe, and the first living being, Brahmā, was born on a lotus flower grown out of the transcendental abdomen of Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu is therefore known as Padmanābha. Brahmā is known as #i#ātma-bhū#/i# because he was begotten directly from the father without any contact of mother Lakṣmījī. Lakṣmījī was present near Nārāyaṇa, engaged in the service of the Lord, and still, without contact with Lakṣmījī, Nārāyaṇa begot Brahmā. That is the omnipotency of the Lord. One who foolishly considers Nārāyaṇa like other living beings should take a lesson from this. Nārāyaṇa is not an ordinary living being. He is the Personality of Godhead Himself, and He has all the potencies of all the senses in all parts of His transcendental body. An ordinary living being begets a child by sexual intercourse, and he has no other means to beget a child other than the one designed for him. But Nārāyaṇa, being omnipotent, is not bound to any condition of energy. He is complete and independent to do anything and everything by His various potencies, very easily and perfectly. Brahmā is therefore directly the son of the father and was not put into the womb of a mother. Therefore he is known as #i#ātma-bhū#/i#. This Brahmā is in charge of further creations in the universe, secondarily reflected by the potency of the Omnipotent. Within the halo of the universe there is a transcendental planet known as Śvetadvīpa, which is the abode of the Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, the Paramātmā feature of the Supreme Lord. Whenever there is trouble in the universe that cannot be solved by the administrative demigods, they approach Brahmājī for a solution, and if it is not to be solved even by Brahmājī, then Brahmājī consults and prays to the Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu for an incarnation and solution to the problems. Such a problem arose when Kaṁsa and others were ruling over the earth and the earth became too much overburdened by the misdeeds of the #i#asuras#/i#. Brahmājī, along with other demigods, prayed at the shore of the Kṣīrodaka Ocean, and they were advised of the descent of Kṛṣṇa as the son of Vasudeva and Devakī. So some people say that the Lord appeared because of the prayers of Brahmājī.
