For example, the Padma Purana explains that Manu and Shatarupa were among the first males and females created by Lord Rudra from his half-female form (Ardhanarishvara) upon Lord Brahma's request.

It is the Slávratta, 'the celestial earth,' of the Hindoo, the summit of his golden mountain Meru, the city of Brahma, in the centre of Jambadwípa, and from the four sides of which gush forth the four primeval rivers, reflecting in their passage the colorific glories of their source, and severally flowing northward, southward, eastward, and westward."
A populated universe
One being that if you go to the Vedic tradition, you will hear about the progenitors of the human race, Brahma and Saraswati.
Abraham, Brahma.
In the Vedic tradition, Brahma and Saraswati are the progenitors of the human race.
Abraham means the father of many nations; Brahma is the father of the many nations.[1:03:01] I think it’s a story of origins where we’ve got different kinds of human beings as a result of close encounters.

Brahma is the creator deity in Hinduism.
Brahma's age is measured in terms of 'Brahma years', which are vastly different from human years.
According to Hindu cosmology, Brahma's day, known as a 'Kalpa', is equivalent to 4.32 billion human years.
At the end of each Kalpa, it is believed that Brahma sleeps and the universe is dissolved, only to be recreated by him when he awakens.
In some texts, Brahma is said to have been born from a lotus that emerged from the navel of Vishnu.
This lotus is often used as a symbol representing the birth of the cosmos and the creative power of Brahma.

Like Brahma, Vishnu's age and birth are complex concepts.
In some narratives, Vishnu is described as sleeping on the cosmic ocean on the serpent Ananta or Shesha, between the cycles of creation maintained by Brahma.
From his navel springs the lotus from which Brahma is born, symbolizing the interconnectedness of the divine functions of creation (Brahma), preservation (Vishnu), and destruction (Shiva).
