tvazwf m. [ tvakz-tfc ] 1 A carpenter, builder, workman. 2 Viśvakarman, the architect of the gods. [Tvaṣṭṛ is the Vulcan of the Hindu mythology. He had a son named Triśiras and a daughter called saMjYA , who was given in marriage to the son. But she was unable to bear the severe light of her husband, and therefore Tvaṣṭṛ mounted the sun upon his lathe, and carefully trimmed off a part of his bright disc; cf. Aropya cakraBramimuzRatejAstvazwreva yatnolliKito viBAti . R. 6. 32. The part trimmed off is said to have been used by him in forming the discus of Viṣṇu, the Triśūla of Śiva, and some other weapons of the gods].
