Manasaputras (, ) are a class of beings in Hinduism, referring to the 'mind-children' or the 'mind-born' sons of Brahma. In Hinduism, Brahma is believed to have created a number of children from his mind.
Sometimes, these children of the mind are stated to be identical to the Prajapatis, the progenitors of all beings in each creation. The Manasaputras are believed to have created the first man, Svayambhuva Manu, and the first woman, Shatarupa, who had five children, who went on to populate the earth.
