Brahma is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, eternally satisfied and pure, and free of nature/understanding/bliss:

Brahma is omnipotent and omniscient. He is the cause of the universe's origin, maintenance and dissolution, as well as the cause of intelligence:

Brahma is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent:

Borrowing heavily from the major Upanishads, the writers of the Gita continued to develop the tradition of the Purusha Sukta, which had already been refined into the mystical metaphysics of the omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient Brahma, the doctrine of karma and the transmigration of the soul in the Upanishads.

As described in a number of the Puranas, it was considered the deadliest weapon. It was said that when the Brahmastra was discharged, there was neither a counter attack nor a defense that could stop it, except by Brahmadanda, a stick also created by Brahma. The Brahmastra never missed its mark and had to be used with very specific intent against an individual enemy or army, as the target would face complete annihilation.

The Brahmastra is said to be more powerful than many other weapons, including those that can destroy creation itself:

There are numerous descriptions of weapons created by various demigods, such as the astras and presiding deities mentioned in part one of this review: Agneyastra, Brahmastra, Chakram, Garudastra, Kaumodaki, Narayanastra, Pashupata, Shiva Dhanush, Sudarshana Chakra, Trishul, Vaishnavastra, Varunastra, and Vayavastra. Among them, the Brahmastra is considered to be the most powerful of all.

Atomic and planetary explosions are insignificant compared to the Brahmastra:

: "When the rays of the two brahmastras combined, a great circle of fire, like the disc of the sun, covered all outer space and the whole firmament of planets."

Purport by Srila Prabhupada: "The heat created by the flash of a brahmastra resembles the fire exhibited in the sun globe at the time of cosmic annihilation. The radiation of atomic energy is very insignificant in comparison to the heat produced by a brahmastra. The atomic bomb explosion can at utmost blow up one globe, but the heat produced by the brahmastra can destroy the whole cosmic situation. The comparison is therefore made to the heat at the time of annihilation."

Brahma also created the Brahmashira, which is four times more powerful than the Brahmastra:

Brahma had created a weapon even more powerful than the Brahmastra, called the Brahmashira. The Brahmashira was never used in war, as it had four times more power than the Brahmastra, i.e. Fourth power square, as the name suggests, since Brahma has Four Heads.

One day of Brahma is 4.32 billion human years. One night of Brahma is also 4.32 billion human years. Thus, Brahma's 100 years would be equivalent to 311. 04 trillion human years:

According to the Puranas (Vedic histories), there have been innumerable creations in the course of cyclical time. The basic unit of Vedic cyclical time is the day of Brahma, which lasts 4.32 billion years. The day of Brahma (also called a kalpa) is followed by a night of Brahma, also lasting 4.32 billion years. The cycle of days and nights of Brahma toes on for Brahma's lifetime of one hundred years (36,000 nights), equivalent to 311.04 trillion of our human years.

Brahma is self-created:

Since he created himself, he is called Svayambhu, born (bhu) by himself (svayam).

Brahma created heaven and earth, and then the skies, directions, time, language and senses. After that, Brahma created seven sages, and then another sage and a god:

He then split the egg into two and created heaven and the earth from the two parts of the egg. Skies, directions, time, language and senses were created in both heaven and earth. From the powers of his mind, Brahma gave birth to seven great sages. Their names were Marichi, Atri, Angira, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu and Vashishtha. Brahma also created the god Rudra and the sage Sanatkumara.
