What happens in this chapter

The One beyond the seven rishis

Vishvakarma Bhauvana again praises Vishvakarma in Trishtubh. The father of the eye, wise in mind, brought forth heaven and earth. Vishvakarma is vast in mind, the maker and arranger, the highest seer; beyond the seven rishis, they say, is the One. He is our father and begetter, who alone gives the devas their names. What first embryo did the waters hold, where all the devas came together? On the navel of the Unborn the One was set, in which all worlds rest. You do not know him who made these; wrapped in mist and chatter, the reciters wander.
