Srimad-Bhagavatam | Canto 3.10.7 | “The Status Quo” | Divisions of the Creation — Thereafter Lord Brahma saw that the lotus on which he was situated was spread throughout the universe, and he contemplated how to create all the planets, which were previously merged in that very same lotus.
PURPORT BY SRILA PRABHUPADA

All the planets were already generated by the Lord, and all the living entities were also born in Brahma.

The real creation is therefore called sarga, and, later on, the manifestation by Brahma is called visarga. Full Chapter
