Human society depends on skilled work (śilpa) for livelihood, and dharmically it is fitting to honor and worship the divine source and exemplar of such skill—Viśvakarman—acknowledging that craftsmanship sustains life and deserves reverence rather than neglect.
Vaiśampāyana, in his ongoing narration, describes Viśvakarman as a great being whose craft supports human livelihoods, noting that people regularly worship him as imperishable—highlighting his enduring role as the divine artisan behind works and skills.
