Interesting relation between Parvathy Devi and Brahma

Lord Shiva only created Brahma, so Brahma is Devi’s son. Then later, Rudra came out from the middle of the eyebrows of Brahma, so Brahma is Rudra’s father and hence Devi’s father-in-law. Himavan is Brahma’s son, so Brahma is also Devi’s grandfather.
