m. « all-doer, all-creator, all-maker»
N. of the divine creative architect orﾠ artist (said to be son of Brahmā., andﾠ in the later mythology sometimes identified with Tvashṭṛi
q.v., he is said to have revealed the Sthāpatyaveda
q.v., orﾠ fourth Upa-veda, andﾠ to preside over all manual labours as well as the sixty-four mechanical arts <whence he is worshipped by Kārus orﾠ artisans>;
in the Vedic mythology, however, the office of Indian Vulcan is assigned to Tvashṭṛi as a distinct deity, Viṡva-karman being rather identified with Prajā-pati < Brahmā. > himself as the creator of all things andﾠ architect of the universe;
in the hymns RV. X, 81; 82 ;
he is represented as the universal Father andﾠ Generator, the one all-seeing God, who has on every side eyes, faces, arms, andﾠ feet;
in Nir. X, 26 andﾠ elsewhere in the Brahmaṇas he is called a son of Bhuvana, andﾠ Viṡva-karman Bhauvana is described as the author of the two hymns mentioned above;
in the MBh. and Hariv. he is a son of the Vasu Prabhāsa andﾠ Yoga-siddhā;
in the Purāṇas a son of Vāstu, andﾠ the father of Barhishmatī andﾠ Saṃjñā;
accord. toﾠ other authorities he is the husband of Ghṛitācī;
moreover, a doubtful legend is told of his having offered up all beings, including himself. in sacrifice;
the Rāmâyaṇa represents him as having built the city of Laṇkā for the Rākshasas, andﾠ as having generated the ape Nala, who made Rāma's bridge from the continent to the island;
