Brahma has other meanings too: see all meanings of Brahma.
Brahma is a rākshasa who attends Bhagavān Sūrya. He is not Brahmā Pitāmaha, the creator: this rākshasa only bears the same name.
The Brahma Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells that Sūrya stays with gandharvas, apsarās, serpents and rākshasas, two months with each group in turn. In Śrāvaṇa and Bhādrapada the two rākshasas with him are Sarpa and Brahma. With them in those months are the Ādityas Indra and Vivasvān, the ṛshis Aṅgiras and Bhṛgu, the serpents Elāparṇa and Śaṅkhapāla, the apsarās Prahlicā and Dundukā, and the gandharvas Bhānu and Durgura.
