viśvá-karman m. ‘all-doer, all-creator, all-maker’, N. of the divine creative architect or artist (said to be son of Brahmā, and in the later mythology sometimes identified with Tvaṣṭṛ q.v., he is said to have revealed the Sthāpatyaveda q.v., or fourth Upa-veda, and to preside over all manual labours as well as the sixty-four mechanical arts [whence he is worshipped by Kārus or artisans]; in the Vedic mythology, however, the office of Indian Vulcan is assigned to Tvaṣṭṛ as a distinct deity, Viśva-karman being rather identified with Prajā-pati [Brahmā] himself as the creator of all things and architect of the universe; in the hymns, [RV. x, 81]; [82] he is represented as the universal Father and Generator, the one all-seeing God, who has on every side eyes, faces, arms, and feet; in [Nir. x, 26] and elsewhere in the Brāhmaṇas he is called a son of Bhuvana, and Viśva-karman Bhauvana is described as the author of the two hymns mentioned above; in the [MBh.] & [Hariv.] he is a son of the Vasu Prabhāsa and Yoga-siddhā; in the Purāṇas a son of Vāstu, and the father of Barhiṣmatī and Saṃjñā; accord. to other authorities he is the husband of Ghṛtācī; moreover, a doubtful legend is told of his having offered up all beings, including himself, in sacrifice; the Rāmāyaṇa represents him as having built the city of Laṅkā for the Rākṣasas, and as having generated the ape Nala, who made Rāma's bridge from the continent to the island; the name Viśva-karman, meaning ‘doing all acts’, appears to be sometimes applicable as an epithet to any great divinity), [RV.] &c. &c.
