Who are pancha brahmas' and why are they called so?

In the [Lalitha sahasranama][2],(the thousand names of Lalitha tripura Sundari), one of the names is

Pancha Brahmasana sthitha

The above name translates to the one who sits on five brahmas.

  • Who are the five brahmas and why are they called so?

P.S The above question is not a duplicate of [this][1] question although it is related. [1]: https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/3223/why-does-lalitha-devi-sit-on-shiva [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalita_Sahasranama
