Rig Veda, which is the source all types of spiritual concepts, mentions Viśvakarman as the BRAHMAN or CREATOR itself, in the Suktams 10.81 and 10.82.
विश्वतश्चक्षुरुत विश्वतोमुखो विश्वतोबाहुरुत विश्वतस्पात् । सं बाहुभ्यां धमति सं पतत्रैर्द्यावाभूमी जनयन्देव एकः ॥
viśvataścakṣur uta viśvatomukho viśvatobāhur uta viśvataspāt | sam bāhubhyāṃ
dhamati sam patatrair dyāvābhūmī janayan deva ekaḥ ||
English translation:
Whose eyes and face are turned in every direction, whose arms and feet move in every direction, producing heaven and earth, he forges them together with his arms, with his fan(-bellows)—he, the god alone.
यो नः पिता जनिता यो विधाता धामानि वेद भुवनानि विश्वा । यो देवानां नामधा एक एव तं सम्प्रश्नं भुवना यन्त्यन्या ॥
yo naḥ pitā janitā yo vidhātā dhāmāni veda bhuvanāni viśvā | yo devānāṃ nāmadhā
eka eva taṃ sampraśnam bhuvanā yanty anyā ||
English translation:
To him who is our father and progenitor, who is the vast distributor, who knows the domains and living beings, all of them, who is the giver of names to the gods, the one alone—to him go the other living beings to make peace.
