⁴⁷ Viśvakarman is Prajāpati (Ś.B.) as the universal constructive principle. He is called Viśvakarman because he created the activity of everything ('Brhad Devatā', II. 50). His name and function lend themselves to many and more or less specialised applications; see R. Guénon: 'L'Homme et son Devenir selon le Vedānta', p. 58, note.
