Veda written by the Sons of Vishwakarma

Considered to be the son of the Vasuprabhasa and his wife, Yogasiddha,
according to one tradition, Visvakarma had five faces, ten hands and
from each of the face he begot a son. Like their father, each of the
sons was extraordinarily talented and versatile in all fields and
because of their stature, they were also awarded the title of
Maharishi (great sage or saint) (Sharma, 1989). Each of the five sons
gave rise to a major artistic lineage, and theoretically any artist
can trace his mythical descent to one of them. The five sons of
Visvakarma are claimed to have been the first blacksmith, the first
carpenter, the first founder, the first mason, the first goldsmith,
variously and the succeeding generation of the craftsmen are supposed
to be their progeny. Roberts (1909, p.11) quotes a passage from the
Vedas:

Manu was a blacksmith and author of the Rig Veda. Maya was a carpenter
and author of Yajur Veda. Twashtak was a brass caster and author of
Sama Veda. Shilpi was a mason-architect and author of the Atharvana
Veda. And Vishvagna was a goldsmith and author of the Pranava Veda. IT
is written by Roberts, A.E. (Roberts Alfred Edwards) (1909).

The article you have found, (i.e.,The Divine Creativity: The Mythical
Paradigm and Lord Visvakarma by M.K. Raina; as well as the references
it cites) is an excellent reference for adding material to both the
Vishwakarma and the Vishwabrahmin
articles..........................................
