Vishvakarman Bhauvana
A king named in the Brahmanas, 'son of Bhuvana'. Kashyapa anointed him with Indra's great anointing; he conquered the earth, offered the horse sacrifice and performed the Sarvamedha, the sacrifice of everything. When he gave the earth to Kashyapa as the fee, the Earth sang that no mortal may give her away.
