Sukta 82
Sukta 10.82
Viśvakarman (traditionally associated with RV 10.82)
Viśvakarman (the All-Former; cosmic artisan/intelligence)
Triṣṭubh (probable; standard for many cosmogonic and theistic hymns in Book 10)
Is mantra mein Vishwakarma ki baat hai jo poore brahmand ka karta hai. Woh pehli haden banata hai jisse asman aur dharti khul ke apni jagah le lein. Rishi log us mahan karta ko puja ke saath bulate hain. Lekin yeh bhi kehta hai ki sirf bolne se woh sachcha karta nahi milta. Asli karta to chupa hua hai jo sab kuch banata hai. Isliye humein us ek shakti ko dhyan mein rakhna chahiye jo sab ko jod ke rakhta hai.
Mantras
Mantra 1
चक्षुषः पिता मनसा हि धीरो घृतमेने अजनन्नन्नमाने । यदेदन्ता अददृहन्त पूर्व आदिद्द्यावापृथिवी अप्रथेताम् ॥
Jisne nazar di, woh pita hai, mann se sthit hai. Usne ghee jaisi chamak aur anna paida kiya, jab dono jhuke hue the. Pehle jab seema bani, tab aasman aur dharti fail gayi.
Mantra 2
विश्वकर्मा विमना आद्विहाया धाता विधाता परमोत संदृक् । तेषामिष्टानि समिषा मदन्ति यत्रा सप्तऋषीन्पर एकमाहुः ॥
Vishwakarman, jo oopar se sab dekhta hai, woh hi sab thik karta hai, sab rakhne wala hai, sabse bada jo hai use dekh sakta hai. Wahan log jo maangte hain woh milta hai, jahan saat rishi ek hi ki baat karte hain.
Mantra 3
यो नः पिता जनिता यो विधाता धामानि वेद भुवनानि विश्वा । यो देवानां नामधा एक एव तं सम्प्रश्नं भुवना यन्त्यन्या ॥
Woh hamara baap hai, hamara paida karne wala. Woh har jagah jaanta hai, saari duniya ko jaanta hai. Sirf woh ek hai jisne deviyon aur devtaon ko unke naam diye. Saari duniya uski taraf ja rahi hai, usse sawaal poochhne.
Mantra 4
त आयजन्त द्रविणं समस्मा ऋषयः पूर्वे जरितारो न भूना । असूर्ते सूर्ते रजसि निषत्ते ये भूतानि समकृण्वन्निमानि ॥
Purane rishi logon ne usko apni poori taakat di. Woh log jisse bhi mili cheez de rahe the, woh sab jama karke usko samarpit kar diya. Woh asman aur dharti ke beech baithe the. Unhone yeh saari duniya banayi aur sab ek saath jod diya.
Mantra 5
परो दिवा पर एना पृथिव्या परो देवेभिरसुरैर्यदस्ति । कं स्विद्गर्भं प्रथमं दध्र आपो यत्र देवाः समपश्यन्त विश्वे ॥
Woh asman se bhi aage hai, dharti se bhi aage hai. Deviyon aur asur se bhi oopar hai. Pehle paani mein kya tha jahan sab devta ek saath aaye the? Woh kya garbh tha jahan sabne dekha tha?
Mantra 6
तमिद्गर्भं प्रथमं दध्र आपो यत्र देवाः समगच्छन्त विश्वे । अजस्य नाभावध्येकमर्पितं यस्मिन्विश्वानि भुवनानि तस्थुः ॥
Woh pehla garbh paani mein tha, jahan sab devta ek saath aaye the. Jo paida nahi hua, uski naavi par ek tikaya hua tha. Usi par saari duniya khadi hai.
Mantra 7
न तं विदाथ य इमा जजानान्यद्युष्माकमन्तरं बभूव । नीहारेण प्रावृता जल्प्या चासुतृप उक्थशासश्चरन्ति ॥
Tum log usko nahi jaante jisne yeh sab banaya. Tumse alag ho gaya woh. Dhuaan sa chhaya hai, baatein bhi wah chal rahi hain. Jo log shabd padh rahe hain, woh bhatak rahe hain, unhe sach nahi mil raha.
Frequently Asked Questions
Viśvakarman is the ‘All-Former’—the cosmic intelligence or artisan who measures and shapes the universe, setting its first limits and ordering all beings.
Creation is not just a physical event but an act of ordering and insight: the true Maker establishes measure and coherence, and we should seek real understanding, not only words.
It warns that people can chant hymns yet remain ‘unsatisfied’ if they do not grasp the essence—being covered by ‘mist’ (confusion) and ‘idle talk’ instead of direct insight.
