Tvashtri

Tvashtri
(Twashtri)
   In Vedic myth the artificer of the gods, the father of Saranyu and instructor of the Ribhus. He is a very ancient deity who probably came to India with the first Vedic invaders. He is akin to the various European artificers, and may therefore have been a dwarf. He should not be confused with Visvakarma, the architect of the gods, who was his son-in-law.
