Pūrvānane viśvakarmā jāyate dakshiṇe mayaḥ ।
Uttarasya mukhe tvashṭā paśchime tu manuḥ smṛitaḥ ।
Viśvakarmākhya-nāmno’sya putraḥ sthapatir uchyate ।
Mayasya tanayaḥ sūtragrāhīti parikīrtitaḥ ।
Tvashṭur devarsheḥ putraḥ varddhakir iti prakathyate ।
Manoḥ putras takshakaḥ syāt sthapatyādi-chatushṭayam ।
