As you can see in all of these, the fire is key. It makes me wonder, how "Brahma" came to be so significantly associated with fire. Then again, I don't have much familiarity with Brahma.

There is a god of fire, Agni - one of the old gods. Was there an attempt to inculcate "Agni" in with Brahma, I wonder?
