The AP calls Vi艣vakarm膩 the creator of thousand silpas (crafts)
121 with the help of which men earn their living. The GP also speaks of
Vi艣vakarm膩 as the famous silpin of the gods. 122 From the Mah膩bh膩rata,
we learn that Prabh膩sa was the father of Vi艣vakarm茫 and his mother was
the sister of Brhaspati. As in the AP here also he was called the creator of
thousand silpas, which were used by men as the means of their livelihood.
123 The M膩nas膩ra holds that of the four architects created from the four
faces of Brahm膩, the creator of the universe, the first was Vi艣vakarm膩.
124 In Bharata's N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra we find Brahm膩 asking Vi艣vakaram膩 to build a
theatre hall. In a short time, the divine architect was able to construct an
auspicious house, suitable for the theatrical purposes. 125 In the
R膩m膩ya峁嘺, we find Vi艣vakarm膩 building the city of Lank膩 for the dwelling
126 of the R膩ksas. He also constructed palaces for the sage Agastya,

for
S奴rya鹿 and for Kubera. 129 It was he who had constructed the divine
130 chariot (Puspaka-ratha) for the god Brahm膩. In the Skanda Pur膩峁嘺,
Vi艣vakarm膩 is described as building a meeting-place, at the request of
Him膩laya. Not only did he constructed a charming meeting-place, but
adorned it with many figures of horses, peacocks and deer. He also put
there the beautiful images of various gods. In Srimad Bh膩gavata we read
that Vi艣vakarm膩 also built a charming palace for Krsna.
