Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Brahma, the first-born living being, went along with Marici and other sages to the place of Kardama’s hermitage, which was surrounded by the river Sarasvati.

 

Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Brahma is called Svayambhu because he is not born of any material father and mother. He is the first living creature and is born from the lotus which grows from the abdomen of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Garbhodakasayi Visnu. Therefore he is called Svayambhu, self-born.
