The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v1.c20.s3.3

v1.c20.s3.3

The name is applied as an epithet to Indra, and to the sun as all-creating, and probably it was from the latter god that it developed into a name for the creator active god: in the Brāhmaṇas¹ Viçvakarman is identic with Prajāpati, and in post-Vedic literature he sinks to the humble level of the artificer of the gods. A class of Viçvasṛj gods, all-creators, is just alluded to in the Brāhmaṇas.²
