विश्वकर्मा सुतस्तस्याः सृष्टिकर्ता प्रजापतिः । देवानां तक्षको विद्वान्मनोर्मातामहः स्मृतः
viśvakarmā sutastasyāḥ sṛṣṭikartā prajāpatiḥ | devānāṃ takṣako vidvānmanormātāmahaḥ smṛtaḥ
Mula sa kanya isinilang si Viśvakarmā, ang Prajāpati na humuhubog sa sangnilikha. Ang marunong na Takṣaka, bantog na panday ng mga diyos, ay inaalala bilang lolo sa ina ni Manu.
