The Lord Can Personally Become Brahmā
“If in a kalpa a suitable living entity is not available to take charge of Brahmā’s post, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself personally expands and becomes Lord Brahmā.
What the purport teaches

- One day of Brahmā consists of the four yugas multiplied a thousand times, or 4,320,000,000 solar years. His night lasts equally long.
- Brahmā’s year consists of 360 such days and nights. He lives for one hundred such years.
