Pulaha
c. 1450 BCE · Pushkar
Legendary primordial sage; no historical dates exist. He is a mind-born son of Brahmā and a Prajāpati in Puranic cosmology. The early date is a conventional placement only and makes no historical claim.
Pulaha is a legendary primordial sage described as a mind-born son (mānasa-putra) of Brahmā, counted among the Prajāpatis and among the Saptarṣi (seven sages) of the first (Svāyambhuva) Manvantara. He appears chiefly in genealogical and cosmological passages of the Mahābhārata and the Purāṇas, where he is named as a progenitor of various lineages (the Mahābhārata traces the kimpuruṣa race to him; the Bhāgavata Purāṇa records his offspring). The figure is mythological and has no historical attestation; any dates are conventional placeholders, not evidence of a historical person.
