What happens in this chapter
Vishvakarma, maker of all worlds
Vishvakarma Bhauvana sings of Vishvakarma, the All-Maker, in Trishtubh, one of the Veda's great hymns of creation. Our father, the rishi and hotar, sat down offering all these worlds as oblation. What was the ground he stood on, what was the beginning, when Vishvakarma, seeing all, brought forth the earth and unveiled heaven by his might? With eyes everywhere, faces everywhere, arms everywhere, feet everywhere, the one deva forges heaven and earth with his arms and wings. What was the wood, the tree, from which they carved heaven and earth? The rishi calls Vishvakarma, lord of speech, swift as thought, to come for help today.
