The other four sons of Viśvakarmā are mentioned in Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa 1, Chapter 15. Four sons named Ajaikapāt, Ahirbudhnya, Tvaṣṭā and Rudra were born to Viśvakarmā. The great hermit and sage Viśvarūpa was the son of Tvaṣṭā. Hara, Bahurūpa, Tryambaka, Aparājita, Vṛṣākapi, Śambhu, Kapardī, Raivata, Mṛgavyādha, Śarva, and Kapāli are the eleven Rudras. They are the Īśvaras (gods) of the three worlds. It is said that in this way there are one hundred Rudras with shining radiance.
