v1.c12.5

Viśvakarmā now remembers all his four Mānasa sons, Jaya, Vijaya, Siddhārtha and Aparājita to be his comrades in this great task of the Planning. He, therefore, distributed the planning of the human habitation—the towns, Kheṭas (small towns), villages, houses, public places, the gardens etc. together with the forts in between the mountains and rivers for security reasons, on all the four quarters of the Earth to his sons to each one quarter, and himself reserved the planning of the capital of the Universal monarch, the king Pṛthu.
